To be or to not be a planet that is the question on everyone’s mind. Finally after a long 11 years Pluto might be a planet again! When our parents were growing up they learned about the solar system which included Pluto. The furthest planet from the sun; small and cold but loved by many.  Once the news broke in 2006 that the definition of a planet altered how Pluto was going to be categorized, many were perplexed.  Pluto was now being demoted to a dwarf planet and was eliminated from many children’s books.  But today there are a group scientists that are diving in to what is truly the definition of a planet.  Though this is not the first time scientists have argued this point, it is the first time the International Astronomical Union (IAU is a group of astronomers from all over the world whose mission is to protect the science of astronomy) will be forced to make a decision. With this I am rooting for Pluto to be reinstated back into our solar system as a legitimate planet.
