Submission + - Pluto Vote "Hijacked"
fuzzybunny writes: The BBC reports that the IAU's controversial Prague vote on demoting Pluto from planet status was irregular. "There were 2,700 astronomers in Prague during that 10-day period. But only 10% of them voted this afternoon. Those who disagreed and were determined to block the other resolution showed up in larger numbers than those who felt 'oh well, this is just one of those things the IAU is working on'."
