Sounds like they weren’t updating their knowledge. We discover a new major solar system body on an average of every ten years now (the last time it was either Ceres or Sedna).
I wonder how the teacher will react to seeing the upcoming Planet 9 (or to them, Planet X) discovery (rumored to be a minor black hole, which honestly sounds terrifying).
There are two answers because my first language is different from the native language, so I often have to elaborate. I was born in a Pacific Islander community that had a pidgin that was a hybrid between Tahitian and English. When spoken, Tahitian is straightforward, but written Tahitian, even (or especially) in English, is (or was) a literary frontier, in the sense where if you asked how to spell something, nothing was firm.

Sedna I’d assume, Ceres has been known about for about 400 years, and is the real planet demotion superstar.
Our solar system had 13 planets back in the 1700s.
And yes, I am sore about this with all the Pluto-stans ignoring Ceres (and Makemake, and Eris, and Hamuhea, and Palas, and many more!).
P.S. Also, what is your first language, as I’m intrigued by no fixed spelling rules.

Thanks for sharing.
I’m now a little less ignorant on Pacific islander culture/language!
