THE SKY AT NIGHT

Undismayed by the light rain and the 100% cloud cover, Wilson peered enthusiastically through his telescope as darkness fell.

I kept him company because it seemed unkind not to, and as he scanned the skies he explained to me that Pluto has recently been de-planetised, meaning that there are now only EIGHT planets. He is on a mission to discover a new planet to make up the numbers again, and so restore order to the Universe.


Okay, I made up that last bit about restoring order to the Universe... though I wish something would!


Suddenly he called out to me, 'New Dad! New Dad! Make a note of the exact time and write down these coordinates — I've just found a New Planet!'
