Technically, there are only 8 planets now :)

I would say nearly everyone in astronomy and education is in agreement right now that there are at least 9 planets. The only question is which ones they are.

(Mike Brown, the "Pluto killer", is searching for the distant gravitational influence that he believes to be a legit ninth planet.)
