political and non-scientific emotions or nostalgia. One rendition of the definition would have kept Pluto as a planet and included Eris and Ceres, boosting the number of planets to twelve.

that Couldn’t, Pluto’s fall from the Big 9. Pluto. The last of the nine large objects that orbits the sun was removed from the list of planets.
