Everyone goes crazy for Pluto. For the longest time, it was the ninth planet in our solar system. All up until 2006 where it was declared "Not A Planet," causing a huge commotion with people claiming that it is a planet and nothing they say can change that.
We'll, that's the funny thing about science, for anyone was was ever certain about that turned out to actually be correct. About 1 or 2 years ago, it was declared a planet once again. Why people don't know that and it wasn't such a huge news as it was when it was declared not a planet is still a mystery to me. But people seem to be happy to have it back anyhow!
I took an advanced astronomy class in college where the astronomers working there revealed information that may or may not have been sent fresh to the public, including Pluto being reclassified as a planet due to the categorizations and sub categorization they made of the planets in our solar system.

I read the news when pluto was classified only as moon. This is good in science, you can always change your first study.

Science to me is creepy. They make things facts and then they change them all the time so it's hard to know what to believe from them. But like, I like how they get more accurate everyday, so that cool too.

I heard about that somewhere in the internet. I know that a teacher said it once too and they were studying it for years, a while now and they renamed it a few times and the only name I remember is UB313. Who knows what they're doing now since it's not such huge need, like you said.
