Despite the removal of "Pluto" from his planet, the director of NASA has a different opinion

In 2006, scientists rejected Pluto as a planet, but the decision was not impressed by NASA director Jim Pridenstein, who said at an event at the University of Colorado at Boulder: " For your information, I think that Pluto is a planet, Pluto has responded to his planetary, I am committed to it, he is born and he is engaged. "

Before 2006, scientists had no precise definition of the planet, but that year, a research team led by astronomer Caltech Mike Brown had discovered in our solar system an object larger than Pluto, but it was well beyond. The Brown team discovered a new planet?

To solve this problem, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) formulated a formal definition of the planet and the dwarf planet.
