The defense of Pluto is never stupid.

[(Anonymous)]

It's always rather stupid. Who cares whether or not it's called a planet? Such a silly thing to have become a thing.

sa

I think it's just a lot of childhood nostalgia.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly.

So what the fuck was the point of changing it?

[(Anonymous)]

da

Because it doesn't meet the qualifiers for 'planet'

That's it. It's not huge.

As we discover more of the universe, definitions become more set in stone for different things and it turns out Pluto is not a planet-planet but a dwarf planet with 6 siblings floating around.

Analogy: Say when people first saw ferrets they thought they were rats, so they called them rats. Then people learnt more about biology and ferrets and realised they were not rats, so they're no longer called rats*


*I made this up since I can't be assed to find a real analogy. Defintions get redefined all the time as we find out more is what i'm getting at

tl;dr science!

Pandas. All sorts of reclassification going down there. Both Red and Giant Pandas have been shifted around between Ursidae (bears) and Procyonidae (raccoons), with Giant Pandas eventually being settled back in Ursidae and Red Pandas being given their own family (Ailuridae). (Remember the old 'panda bears are actually closer to raccoons than bears' thing? Turns out, nope, they really are bears. Ailuridae is closer to Procyonidae, though.)
