It wasn’t NASA tho - it was the International Astronomical Union (IAU):
NASA’s New Horizons mission made a close pass of Pluto this week. For more than 70 years, Pluto was one of nine planets recognised in our Solar System.
But in 2006, it was relegated to the status of dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). So why was Pluto demoted?
So much fuss about a glorified asteroid.
I thought this said “Heart of rice” and the rest about Pluto got pretty confusing
“do you think that Pluto gives a shit? Pluto’s not gonna quit, cos Pluto knows what Pluto is. And he knows that Pluto’s HOT SHIT” -Tom Cardy
Always “Pluto, Pluto, Pluto”. Why does no one ever remember Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake? They’re each as much of a “planet” as Pluto is.
Three sizes too small
