Pluto restored to full glory - at least over New Mexico western news
By KATE NASH
Thursday, March 15, 2007

Pluto-traditionalists rejoice. The downgraded dot in the sky has  
regained its status as our solar system's ninth planet.

Or at least it is when it's hovering over New Mexico.

That's the gist of a nonbinding measure approved by members of the  
New Mexico House this week. Rep. Joni Gutierrez introduced it, and  
for good reason, she says: The Las Cruces Democrat grew up two blocks  
from the astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet, or, um, planet,  
if there's any chance it's above us right now.
