The Neptune Issue

The truth about Neptune is that astronomers first thought it was a large planet circling the sun. When they got better telescopes they figured out it was a REALLY large star a few light years away. They just can't bring themselves to go public with the truth because that would mean there's only 8 planets and they'd have to re-write every textbook, which the government already told the international planetary society THEY would have to pay for because they are the ones that screwed up in the first place.
