"Pluto is a planet" sounds like a hill the Epstein Class would die on. "I know what planet is" they'll go, and then show how out of date they are, like they are on matters of Gender and Race

If you want Pluto as a planet, then that means Ceres is a planet, Eris is a planet, Makemake is a planet...and then people will be complaining there are "Too many planets" and won't learn any of their names.

As one avenue to Planet 9 closes so another one could open, this latest object will help some theories while quash others, such is the beauty of Science.

And do not anthropomorphise Pluto, it's just a minor planet, not a sad puppy being demoted.

A couple of years ago I made a little #webApp to view the #orbits of most known #planets, #minorPlanets, #asteroids and #comets in our #solarSystem (about 950,000 of them at that time)

You can search by name, set the camera, zoom, pan, and go forwards and backwards in time. It should work on recent phones & tablets.

I haven't updated the data since I made it and many orbits will have drifted since then, so I wouldn't recommend using it to plan any trips to Mars
