The debate over Pluto's planet status gets fired up again in a Pluto TV rally at UCLA on April 1, 2024. (Image credit: Pluto TV) Pluto may have lost its status as a full-fledged planet in 2006, but that doesn't mean it's a joke of a world this April Fools' Day and the ...

Pluto A Planet That's right, NASA scientists want to make Pluto a planet again. Pluto was called a planet from 1930 to 2006. Then, it was demoted to a "dwarf planet." Alan Stern, the lead scientist with NASA’s New Horizon’s mission to Pluto noted that the IAU’s (International As...
Alternative classification schemes continue to pop up. A 2017 proposal defined a planet as "a round object in space that's smaller than a star." This wouldmake Pluto a planet again, but it would do the same to theEarth's moonas well as many other moons in the solar system, and bring...
A group of planetary scientists (among the majority who support the (correct) IAU definition of planet), have figured out how to make Pluto a planet again. It follows the classic American strategy "Don't raise the bridge, lower the river." First put forward 60+ years ago, in this ahead...
Oops, Pluto is not the smallest - should it be a planet again?Hank Campbell
again. One Kuiper belt object, now namedEris(and originally nicknamed Xena), whose orbit extends to roughly three times the distance of Pluto's, has an estimated diameter (1,500 mi/2,400 km) slightly larger than that of Pluto and also has a moon. It was the discovery of Eris in ...
With the discovery of Eris (2003 UB313) - an outer solar system object thought to be both slightly larger than Pluto and twice as far from the Sun - astronomers have again been thrown into an age-old debate about what is and what is not a planet. One of many sizeable hunks of rock...

Scientists have called for Pluto to be classified as a planet again following a new study into planetary science. The IAU’s decision to reclassify Pluto in 2006 was based on the presence of objects called “plutinos” within its orbit. ...
