Kurumi shot Selina a look. Maybe her best friend wasn't talking the class seriously, but she was, and right now Selina was talking when others were giving their reports. Kurumi pulled her parchment closer to her and figured that she was meant to be the one to report in.

So, Selina got another look - one that said she was not going to be getting any cookies - and then turned her attention forward towards Professor Roslund and the rest of the class. "Selina and I discussed various things, but the bottom line comes down to a few things. First, time. Pluto was discovered in 1930, and our understanding of the universe then compared to what is was in 2006 is very VERY different and we are able to see and study things more clearly. Some have mentioned that changing Pluto to a dwarf planet is inconvenient to us and unfair to the planet, but we have to remind ourselves that this is science, not philosophy or morals." Even if Kurumi DID feel bad for the planet. However, this was not something that could be debated based on emotions."What if humanity had thought the same thing some of us think about Pluto, but applied it to the flat-earth model?" Just something to chew on for thought. "Second, the qualities that define a planet just can't be ignored. Planets must be gravitationally dominant in their orbit and prevent anything of similar size from floating around it. Pluto not only shares its orbit with a number of other Kuiper Belt objects, some larger than itself such as Eris, but it also flies inside the orbit of Neptune." Kurumi shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe one day science will evolve and we will find something that proves Pluto should be a planet, but, for now, facts and figures just really can't be ignored. Pluto is in the right place." For now at least.

And with that, Kurumi sat down and folded her hands together on the table.
