Quick Overview:
Scientists, after an international conference to create more streamlined definitions of astronomical events, have decided that four known bodies in the solar system will now be considered Dwarf or Minor Planets. The three bodies are: Ceres (A planet in the 1800s), Pluto, Cheron (Pluto's "moon"), and UB303 nicknamed Xena by the astronomer who found it in 2003.
If this link doesn't work I'll post a full text article. But I normally don't post links so I'm not sure how else to do it!
Good luck and enjoy!
Raven!

Streamlined? The definition of "dwarf planet" is more than 120 words.
And translated, the definition of "dwarf planet" is "Pluto."
