I thought they blew off Pluto as a planet a few years ago... Or am I wrong?

Pluto is classified as a “dwarf planet”- massive enough to collapse into a sphere but not big enough to clear other objects from its orbital path. Ceres and Vesta, formerly classified as asteroids, also qualify as dwarf planets.
