Video Description
What’s the real reason Pluto WAS a planet and isn’t anymore? My take: It never should have been. But I still love it! Hear me out! Once upon a time in 1930, there were 8 planets. Then an observatory in Arizona spotted a new one... If you look at the reports at the time, you’ll see we thought it was the size of Earth or larger! But then… with more observation, estimates started to shrink… By the time I was a kid, we knew Pluto was smaller than the MOON! And finally, we discovered something else... So in the end, the International Astronomical Union officially revoked its planet status and said all planets now have to meet 3 criteria. But Pluto doesn’t need to be a planet for me to love it!
