Fun fact :

Part of the reason Pluto's classification hit so hard in the US is that it's the only 'planet' ever discovered by an USian astronomer. That national pride made the 2006 decision sting more than elsewhere. Some of the top figures from the AAS even challenged the legitimacy of the decision afterwards.

I dunno. I'm American and knew that, didn't care. My ire was simply having 4 decades under my belt of knowing Pluto as the 9th planet.

Yes. The Pluto thing is a huge violation of the "rule of cool".

If there are bigger rocks than Pluto in orbit, we should promote some cool new big space rocks to be new secret bonus planets!
