Basically what they are removing if they are removing Saturn with it's

They are removing a planet. The sentence in itself uses the word
planet.

Pluto has it's own self-defined course around the Sun. Pluto is a
large round object with Moons, a course that crosses with Neptune's
orbit.

That's all a definition of a planet needs.

The word Planet is round.

You know and I go with this over to sci.astro.research and they say I
have no scientic basis, no references, no scientific research
materials. It happens that they would rather kill than be susseptible.

It can only mean one thing: There is corruption in the high-academic
institutions, not like that's an old things. Beaurocracy where it
shouldn't be, I am not talking of the politburo sci.astro.research
group.
