   The reason it happened is that some scientists found "Xena" (which is not   
   going to be named Xena as its final name).  Xena is bigger than Pluto.   
      
   So they were stuck having to figure out a definition for "planet": either   
   Xena counts, and we have 10 planets, or Pluto doesn't count, and we have 8.
