There is only one star called the Sun
and only one star system called the Solar system, same as there is
 only one the Moon.

So, I guess by definition... there are no other planets in the universe
since the definition only refers
to ...our Sun.

One need not to be a genius to see the definition is outdated. 

Enough  would to lower the letters,
as capitals are reserved to our system.

I don't think "outdated" is the problem, ...it's that the IAU members are 'small-minded people'.


The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  is international, not universal.

More correctly, there is only one star called "Sol", our sun, and the 
system of bodies that orbits the star called "Sol" is called "the Solar 
System"!!

 It depends on language.
Sol in Latin, Sun in English.

English or Latin!!

"The Solar System" is what the IAU was talking about.
The bodies gravitationally bound to Sol, and whatever
else is in the same space - solar wind, etc.

Daniel60's mistake was to get dragged into orbit 
of the dark star.  For most everyone else there - 
"I don't care what happens to these people."
