It was reclassified, not decommissioned.
The meme does get at an important point though -
Our classifications of things have no impact on the things themselves. They are descriptive, not prescriptive. We create the category “planet” as a useful tool for referring to certain categories of astronomical objects. These objects would exist whether we had words for them are not.
There are patterns in what the word “planet” describes that would also be shared, whether all of those things were called “planets” are not, but the words themselves are just useful shorthands depending on the context that we use them in. The map is not the territory; the referent is not the reference.
(This is also about sex/gender.)
referent
I like this word
what's that screenshot from
iOS! Spotlight search on an iPhone.
Tapping the short definition at the top produced the lengthier one. But nothing compares to the Oxford English Dictionary itself online! (Yay a local public library subscription)
Anyway pretty UI eh?
not a fan of the rest of the UI tbh but the typography on the dictionary is beautiful.

Pluto is Chiron's moon
Pluto is hot shit.
They say "Pluto's not a planet," Do you think that Pluto gives a shit?
Now and then, we all get a thought
That stops us in our tracks
Came here to make sure that was posted, LOL
The problem with recognizing Pluto is that Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Quaoar, Sedna, Ceres, Orcus, and perhaps also Salacia also should probably be included, and that makes for a nightmare of a mnemonic. As we all know, classification is decided on mnemonic plausibility.

Now, you only have to remember that Makemake and Orcus are in the Kuiper belt (past Neptune's orbit), and that maybe that Salacia is optional, and you can puzzle out the two repeated letters.
I spent too long on this.
...where's eris?..
Not too much, what's eris you?
Yeah, there never was an option to keep 9 planets. It was either 8, all of which are already familiar, or many many more. And they wouldn't all be added neatly at the end either. Removing Pluto was the sensible choice.
Possibly over 100.

“Pluto is not a planet”
“What is it then?”
“It’s a dwarf planet”
“A dwarf what?”
“Planet”
“So it’s a planet”
giant panda and red panda do not belong to the same family
If we include Pluto, we will have 14 planets in our solar system, and I'm okay with that.
In order of proximity to the sun, we have Ceres, Pluto, Huema, MakeMake, and Eris.
Granted, there's currently only 5 officially recognized, and the IAU says there may be more than 100 objects in our solar system that qualify that are yet to be discovered.
I am rooting for Pluto
What if Russia is like Pluto?
