Question 10 of 10
Read these passages:
Preface:
This distinction prevailed until August 2006, when the
International Astronomical Union (IAU), prompted by
pressure from the professional community of planetary
scientists as well as from the general public, brought
Pluto's planethood to a vote at a triennial general assembly
in Prague, Czech Republic. The result? Pluto was formally
downgraded from "planet" to "dwarf planet," thereby
helping to diffuse the negative attention that we had been
receiving for six years running.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, The Pluto Files
Interview
Over the years, people started realizing that maybe that
kind of makes sense, and six years later, the International
Astronomical Union, they took a vote, and basically they
said Pluto should be reclassified. So we were, in the end,
kind of vindicated.
