Pluto

By: Quinn

The reason why I think the IAU made the wrong decision to reclassify pluto as a dwarf planet. In there opinion for a new definition of a planet also effected Pluto they try to reclassify pluto as not an actual a planet this definition was very vague. However some facts and details disagree with the IAU’s decision to reclassify Pluto.

During the 2000’s the IAU’s main priority was to reclassify pluto as a dwarf planet. This was failing and some reasons are. The IAU made a vote for the final decision but only 304 astronomers voted. After the vote Alan Stern head of the new horizons mission to pluto called it awful and sloppy science.

Actually the IAU’s decision isn’t just messing with science it’s messing with history we would half to change a lot. Also pluto has been around for about 80 years. I strongly believe that pluto should be a planet because how much the IAU could change the world.
