Rumors about naming "planets"
There seems to be a compromise about the words chosen to define a planet.
The anti-plutonians would get this:
The solar system includes:
4 gazeous planets
4 terrestrial (or earthlike; in french "tellurique" like I said before) planets
(Which makes them.....8... ;-)
The pro-plutonians would get outer planets (or outside planets or external planets; I don't know how "extérieure" would be translated in this case..)
Oh, and "Xena"?? some IAU members want to stop fantasy names been given to planets....
(This is just a rumor, found in a frenchspeaking astronomy forum, but....)
