Pluto is a great test for what type of person someone is.
If someone says Pluto is still a planet. They have a personality where they are immovable and can’t accept scientific change and everything has to be how they first learned it.
If they do say pluto is a new kind of dwarf planet they are more accepting of new information and belive in the scientific method and love to be wrong. Since it means we learn something new.
I recently heard that they discovered hundreds of Pluto sizes “planets” beyond Pluto, so they had to decided do we add 100 more planets or just demote Pluto to planetoid and ignore the rest
Eh, it’s more like our definition of what a planet is changed. I still think of Pluto as a planet.
It’s a planette
This was my first thought as well!

It’s a great quick test when meeting new people.

Yep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(dwarf_planet)
Eris? Didn’t Sephiroth kill her?
So presumably NASA is anti-science ?
Because they have redetermined that Pluto is a planet.
