"In 2006, Pluto lost its status as a planet when other bodies in the solar system of similar or greater size were found. The decision to demote it to a ‘dwarf planet’ by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) at the time was highly contentious - and it now seems many still want its planet status reinstated. In a debate where experts presented cases for and against the decision, it was found that most people in the audience still wanted Pluto to be a planet... The latest vote isn't official, but highlights the public continued disapproval of Pluto's demotion to 'dwarf planet' status."
