300 Astronomers will not use the new planet definition. They have signed a petition: Petition Protesting the IAU Planet Definition. Astronomers expect changes. The definition states that the eight worlds from Mercury to Neptune are planets, and that Pluto and other small round objects in the outer solar system are not planets. We will see what the future brings.

I agree with the protest. I want pluto to stay a planet too. Why change it?
