Listen to the whole interview: www.wnyc.org Astrophysicist and director of the American Museum of Natural Historys Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson looks at the fate of Pluto, which was long considered the ninth planet in our solar system until it was demoted to a “dwarf planet” in 2006. In The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of Americas Favorite Planet, he reconstructs Plutos origins, place in pop culture, and why its place in the pantheon of planets was revoked.

The way he described pluto it makes? me think that we are plutos foster parents and when it reached 10 years old it was adapted and went home to its real family. haha

If people? had as much sympathy and passion for other people as they do for that tiny ball of ice, things would be better on this planet.
I can’t believe how concerned people are about this.
