August 24, 2006. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefines the term "planet" such that Pluto is considered a Dwarf Planet.

It's ok. Disney will do a remake of the universe in a few years and Pluto will be a normal sized planet.

If calling humans “dwarf” is offensive then the same should go for planets.

I love that you can clearly see that Pluto is flat in this picture.

This is the opposite of inclusiveness

International is just on earth, and, therefore, has no jurisdiction over The Planet Pluto.

From ChatGPT:
In the cosmic dance, a world once grand,
Pluto twirled, a planet in our command.
With distant orbits, it roamed the night,
A tiny gem in the sea of starlight.
A status granted, revered for years,
Ninth in line, amid celestial spheres.
Yet debates ensued, a scientific quest,
To define its role, to judge what's best.
Amidst the scholars' fervent debate,
Pluto's fate hung in uncertain state.
Dwarf planet, they proclaimed, its new decree,
A redefined place in the galactic tapestry.
No longer a planet, full-fledged and bold,
But a dwarf, in orbits far and cold.
Still, Pluto's charm could not be erased,
A world of wonder that time embraced.
Though demoted from its lofty throne,
Pluto's light and spirit shone.
A lesson learned, in the sky so vast,
Definitions change, yet beauty will last.

Pluto, a listless dwarf in the sky,
Once a planet, now a sigh.
In space, it sails free,
A vessel, you see,
Still capturing hearts, oh so spry!
