Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about Pluto. You know, the celestial that was a planet, then wasn't a planet? Well, be prepared to see it become a planet again, maybe. You can't be sure with it anymore. But, two scientists are hoping to get it to become an official planet again, and they're doing it by attacking the IAU classification system. You see, Pluto went off the official planets list because it's surrounded by icy debris. However, that means that during Earth's first 500 million years of existence, it would also not have been classified as a planet. And seeing that good old Terra is a planet, these scientists are hoping to get it to change how it defines planet to be something more simple. A round object in space that is smaller then a star. If that works, then Pluto will be, once again, a planet.
Adventure Van, waffling and flip-flopping away.
