Wouldn't that be Ceres, though?

I grew up being taught in school that Pluto was a planet, dwarf or not, it'll always be a planet to me. Pluto is the Tyrion Lannister of our planets, cast out of his family just for being a dwarf, he didn't ask to be made this way when the solar system was forming!

How can anyone not like pluto! Look at its beautiful and weird colors! Its good that there are rules so that we can correctly categorise the celestial bodies! Nice video btw!

My boyhood interest in Astronomy began at about the age of 9, when I read a children's book called "The Search For Planet X" and learned about Clyde Tombaugh and his discovery of Pluto. I've often wondered what Tombaugh would have thought about Pluto's "demotion" to dwarf planet. Of course we'll never know, but my own feeling is that, after some initial disappointment, he would have been excited! Excited that Pluto didn't turn out to be merely another "planet", and an oddball one at that, but the first to be discovered object in a vast new category of objects in what we now know as the Kuiper Belt. Actually, Pluto sort of straddles the boundary between these two categories, and could probably be regarded as both a Kuiper Belt Object AND a Planet. How cool is that? By the way, since Neptune hasn't cleared out it's orbit either (Pluto is still there), I'd like to know why Neptune is still considered a planet? Might makes right?

One naturally wonders whether New Horizons would even have happened if NASA had known Pluto’s demotion was in the offing. It was probably just as deflating to the NH team to realize that the raison detre for the mission-a fly-by of the ninth planet-had been snatched from them.

Astrum, thank you for making such good content. I'm going back through your what have we found series. The context as well as the real images you show is as enthralling as it is entertaining. I'm a casual science nerd and am astounded at the amount of breathtaking imagery you have managed to introduced me to.

The problem with the 2006 definition is that it can only be used to classify planets in OUR solar system. Now that astronomers are discovering planets in other solar systems (even estimating their sizes), they cannot tell if a planet has "cleared its orbit." Moreover, even our solar system has outlier objects within certain planetary orbits (including Earth). What does it mean to "clear its orbit" anyway? I would prefer a definition that is much more simple: A.) Has sufficient mass to assume a spherical shape; and, B.) Has a radius of at least 1000 km. In our solar system, this would include Pluto and, most likely, Eris. It would not include Ceres. However, in other solar systems, this same definition could be used -- even if we don't know the orbit of that planet around its nearest star OR if the planet itself is deemed a rogue planet.

Exactly! The IAU definition is idiotic and doesn’t make sense. Myself and many planetary scientists use the geophysical planet definition. It says a planet: A) has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (round) shape, but B) has insufficient mass to undergo nuclear fusion at any time. It’s important to add nuclear fusion to the definition so we don’t include stars as planets. By this definition, there are about 110 planets in our solar system. It also applies to all planets around all stars and even rogue planets. 👍🏻

We are not just a thinking species, but a _feeling_ one, and we forget that at our peril.

Im wondering if a planet like Venus, Earth, Mercury or Mars would be replaced with Plutos orbit, if they would be able to clear its neighbourhood.

I've always had trouble with the idea of a planet being defined almost entirely by orbit alone. I mean a Jupiter-sized planet could be orbiting in a belt of gas giant sized objects and it wouldn't technically be a planet. What about a Jupiter sized planet orbiting perpendicular to the orbital plane of the rest of the planets? Since the planets orbit the barycenter outside our sun technically are any of our planets really planets since they orbit an area just outside of the sun? That's why I would rather have the definition of planet rely more on geologic definitions (like a differentiated interior) rather than orbit alone as orbits makes the definition of planets inconsistent. Yes orbit should play a role but not predominantly.

By the definition given there, Earth and Jupiter are not planets either as they have not cleared their orbits. I suspect that definition was created with the sole intention of excluding Pluto. After all, the orbit of Pluto is so elliptical, that by that definition Pluto must clear Neptune from its orbit as well. And even an object as large as Jupiter, in the same orbit would have difficulty "clearing" that orbit.

Pluto is a dwarf planet, Jupiter is a gas giant planet, Earth is a rocky planet. Earth is way more similar to Pluto than it is to Jupiter. It's fine to say that Pluto is a dwarf planet, but if you're going to use that to say that Pluto isn't a planet, it would make more sense to group Earth along with Pluto in the "Not Planets" group, than to group it with Jupiter and the gas giants.

If somebody asks me what are the planets in the solar system, I will still say 'Mercury, Venus ..... Pluto'.

The objection I have to Pluto being reclassified is that it just seems like human arrogance and not wanting to count too high when we discuss how many planets we have (apparently we can't go past ten for some reason), so we find ways of classification that aren't really valid, just to make us happy, in a universe that has no obligation to make humans happy.

Doesn't matter that it's a Dwarf Planet, my money is still on Pluto being revealed as a secret Targaryan...

I love planets and Pluto

Great work... as always... Hey, this bit of history of astronomy made me think on the ancient astronomer like egipcians inkas and greeks that figured out the movements of the earth, those guys did a great job =D

Yo you can't say "dwarf planet" without "planet"

I still have a soft spot for little Pluto and its big heart. ❤

A rose by any name would smell as sweet.

Ross Mandell even a shitrose?

It even has a heart on it to tell us how much it loves us and we just had to go and make it a dwarf planet. #poorpluto

So, it basically comes down to position. Wouldnt Mercury become a dwarf planet, while Pluto becomes a planet again if the two switched orbits?

Ice makes up an insignificant portion of Pluto, in terms of mass, right? Also, mass doesnt matter that much, the Sun cleared Mercurys orbit, it would do the same for Pluto.
