Note on IAU classifcation.
 
The IAU has decided to reclassify the planets and give us a definition.
 
Definition:
 
1) Must orbit the sun.
 
2) Must have enough gravity to become spherical.
 
3) Must have cleared it's orbit from immediate debris.
 
Pluto, Sedna & Elis haven't done 3. So after this biased definition they are
offically removed. However I see no reason to scrap them and will
maintain their rightfull status on this site!

All days and years unless specified are Terran.
