Dan’s Blog (2.0)

Everything needs an upgrade once in a while. I guess it was the Solar system’s time. So now we still have Pluto [great sigh of relief] but … Surprise surprise! There’s a new planet you never heard of before making an appearance between Mars and Jupiter. I dunno — I prefer Solar System Classic to the New Solar System. I really only like the Solar System’s old stuff — you know, in the pre-Ceres days? And don’t even talk to me about Charon and 2003 UB₃₁₃. After that the Solar System really went down hill.

By the way, is this the best shot they could get of Ceres for the coming out party? I mean surely there must be something better in the press file…

Thanks to Scott for the “Solar System 2.0″ meme.
