Exploring Pluto: Planet or Dwarf Planet?

from Kurzgesagt Podcast: Science Revealed

Once hailed as the ninth planet of our solar system, Pluto’s status has sparked debate ever since its controversial reclassification in 2006. In this episode, we journey to the icy edges of the Kuiper Belt to uncover Pluto’s story—its discovery, unique features, and why astronomers changed its planetary status. Is Pluto just a dwarf planet, or does it deserve to reclaim its planetary title? We explore scientific insights, NASA’s New Horizons mission, and the cultural fascination that keeps Pluto in the spotlight. Ready to rethink what makes a planet… a planet?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kurzgesagt-podcast-science-revealed--6600013/support.
