They arbitrarily changed the definition of “planet” so as to meet their new narrative. Typical of science lately.

So you’ve witnessed pluto orbiting the sun?
an orbit of the sun is a requirement for a planet (among several other well documented criteria), and pluto’s orbit (that we’ve never fully observed) is 248 years, and pluto was discovered in 1930.
I don’t know why these posts are getting doubled. I’m not doing it...............

If Pluto weren’t in orbit around the sun, we wouldn’t have been able to send a spacecraft there with such precision.

True, Pluto has not made a complete circuit since it was discovered. However, don’t you suppose those guys are smart enough to observe the arc that planet has made since 1930 and correctly conclude that it is an orbit around the sun? Their ability to put that probe at the right place at the right time validates their calculations for Pluto’s orbit.
