When I took an astronomy class, my professor said something along the lines of “Just because it’s no longer a planet, that doesn’t make it any less interesting.” and I’ve been going along with that ever since.
Although, shoutout to that time when I was fully prepared to accept every pluto-sized minor planet as a planet and downloaded a list of all of them to memorize.
the thing is that whenever someone says "pluto IS a planet" you don't know if they're actually a space fan who is prepared to love and cherish all the other bodies that would become planets if pluto was promoted again or the dumbest motherfucker on earth who thinks science should have stopped when they left 3rd grade
