    I will not take this Pluto slander, he has a heart made of ice in his surface, he would never do a misogyny. He is just a silly little guy, a goober if you will.

    Still a dwarf planet though, not going to be one of those people who is mad at classificarion that is only offensive if you consider dwarf planets bad for some reason.

      Plus there’s actual historical precedent. When Ceres was discovered, it was considered a planet. Then once telescopes and observational techniques got better, it was shown to be one member of a much larger family of objects in the same part of the solar system and reclassified. A very large and prominent member of course, but not unique. At some point a definition has to be made, and the current one for planets is a very sensible definition.
