New planets for our solar system ?

We are going to have 3 more planets added to our solar system soon.
Hooray that's going to bring down property prices :-))

The current number of nine planets in the solar system will change to 12.

If this proposal gets through, then the 12 planets in our Solar System will be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon and 2003 UB313. There will also be a category called plutons which is actually something like a standard for including a celstial body. A pluton is a prototype like the planet Pluto.

website for more details.
