Saving the Planet

Save the planet (Pluto, that is) say dissident astonomers from New Mexico, and from from Hawaii.

No such problems for Burmese astrologers. They have found an elegant solution to the astronomical controversy generated the International Astronomical Union's downgrading of Pluto from full planetary status: ignore the IAU.

Pluto has been traditionally defined as a planet in astrology, and it will retain that status," U Tiun Lin, president of the Myanmar Astrologers Association was quoted as saying in the Myanmar Times.
Good for them. I wish them well, whatever the future may hold.
