Demoting Pluto was the smartest thing NASA ever did for it, just look at how many experts on planets suddenly showed up after they did...
itisafunnystoryifyouignorethetragicelementsandthesenseofdoom
How mny of them gave a shit about Pluto before it was demoted?
ScagnettiOnScagnetti
Half the people irl who roll their eyes when I even mention space exploration suddenly think it's wrong they demoted Pluto.

Mother fucker I know you don't give a shit. Don't pretend you care because you heard someone else talking about it.

Did you know Russia is bigger than pluto
ZanderguywithlongnamebecauseitsaidIcantjustdoZander
Also Texas is bigger than the solar system?
AyyLmaoZedong
Inaccurate. Both the 2015 & 2016 images were taken the same year during the flyby. Equally high res images were available within 2015.

I was just thinking this. Surely there would have been more coverage of a second probe after New Horizons?

I'm bigger than Pluto. I have a moon too. If Pluto gets to be a planet so do I. - Eris
natabus
I think its cool that a body named after the goddess of Discord started all the arguments about Pluto.
MrWobblyHead
That's the main reason Pluto got knocked off the planet list. We'd have to include a lot more solar system objects on the list if we hadn't.
ffilm
Between its discovery in 1930 and its demotion from planet status in 2006, Pluto made less than 1/3 of a revolution around the sun.
imgonnawreckitagain
so it turned into a binary star in 2005?

From cute ice-heart to unwashed elephant's asshole. And you thought your 2016 was rough.

Yeah, but it's lost a lot of weight. Use to be planet size, now it's just moon. Another few years it will be asteroid.

Few more decades and it will only be the size of OP's mom.

The problem is if we consider it a planet, then our solar system has like 3,000 planets and we don't want to memorize them all. (1/2)
FckyourselfSarah
Aren't there only 5 recognized dwarf planets?
DougDeNasty
Most are still to pixelated to be recognizable. Much like the 1996 picture above.
Abysse
Many actually.
FckyourselfSarah
If by many you mean FIVE then you're correct.
FckyourselfSarah
Keep your "alternate" facts out of science.
ZachsAnomaiy
The Kuiper belt around our solar system contains massive bodies, some bigger and more planety than pluto, orbiting our sun. (2/2)
szepasszony
I thought Pluto was still one of the biggest? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EightTNOs.png
ZachsAnomaiy
We just don't want to ruin our planetary model we all memorized in school so it was either we removed pluto or stopped having any (3/?)
ZachsAnomaiy
Finite number of recognized planets. Though we could switch to saying "these are the biggest and closest planets... Of the thousands." (4/?)
ZachsAnomaiy
We would still have to exclude pluto and replace it with the bigger celestial objects in the belt. But we reckon the best way is to (5/6)

Do you pronounce it like make-make or like mah-kay mah-kay?
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
I like to think it's make-make
BarbaryLionforContinuitysSake
mah-kay mah-kay would be closest. Makemake means to want. Or it could mean to be super dead. BC Hawaiian redup. rules are fun
prufock
I pronounce it mocky-mocky, but I have no idea if that's right.
AnAccountToPostThis
Yes thats about right. IIRC it's a hawaiian name or something.

you hear about pluto? thats messed up.
CKnowles
Pluto does not belong to same category as Jupiter. You can pick whichever names you want, but there are 8 spheres with unobstructed orbits->
CKnowles
About the the sun. If gravity works as we think it does, Pluto will eventually collide with Neptune and be obliterated.

I know you are joking, but a dwarf planet is not a planet.

If you want an actual explanation of why it's a dwarf planet: it fails the requirement in my reply (it has little to do with size)

we get it man. its a dead horse. but that dead horse sprouted moons since we declared it dead. I let it go but pluto is fucking amazing tbh

like calling deuterium a noble gas I mean come on, Neptune would also say otherwise since they trade places in 8th and 9th planet

Yeah, I agree with you, Pluto is amazing. I just figured I'd offer the exact "why" because most people don't know and 1/2

assume it has to do with size or mass (as the misleading name "dwarf planet" implies) 2/2

yeah DeGrasse Tyson won me over. but what if plutos' affect of Oort objects are indistinguishable from Jupiters affect on asteroid belt?
