Holst only wrote 7

the PLANETS, massive, famous, was it 7 or 8?

Holst only heard of 7 other planets for most of his life, and we all grew up thinking Pluto was a planet, a cold one… or a cartoon dog, but who knew wikipedia’s li’l explanation stated below?

“In August 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for the first time defined the term “planet”, which resulted in a change in Pluto’s status, from a planet to a dwarf planet. Thus, Holst’s original work is once again a complete representation of all the extra-terrestrial planets in the Solar System.”

ha, back to where we began…
