is what is the summer, the newspapers are a little crazy. In its August 17 cover of the newspaper El Pais titled: The Solar System welcomes three new planets . And all accompanied by a picture that will be located until a few days ago, 9 planets of the Solar System, as well as Ceres, Charon and Xena. This holder could be understood scientists had decided that these three heavenly bodies will be part of our Solar System. Nothing is further from the truth. That decision should be taken just a week later, on August 24 in the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union held in Prague. Following this meeting
something very different happened. Far from accepting Ceres, Charon and Xena as planets, astronomers decided to demote Pluto (until then the last planet in our solar system), consider a dwarf planet, and therefore a trans-Neptunian object.
Far from the scientific implications of the news is clear that the
newspaper El País made a big mistake the 17th of August at his home. Only 8 days after the newspaper most widely read general information on Spain was correct, but without admitting error. This time there was no cover photo, only faldoncillo 2 x 2 (two columns of two modules high) and next to an advertisement. The headline: Pluto down to the second division . thought that newspapers were made to inform, educate and entertain. It is clear that in August there are many who are content to leave the next day. No doubt which makes the cover has little to do with the journalist who signs the inside information, and often not even read it. So what comes out.
