quicklist: title: People Want Pluto as a Planet Againtext: Is it, or isn't it? Remember when Pluto was a planet, then relegated to a "dwarf planet" in 2006? Last month, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics hosted a debate in Cambridge, Massachusetts, among three astronomers wrestling with the question, "What is a planet?" After the debaters discussed science and history, the audience then voted that Pluto was, indeed, a planet. That has galvanized a movement to return it to planet status, according to the center, and led to its top ranking as a search term. But even if the public is behind "Team Planet Pluto," it would take the International Astronomical Union to make the call, as it did in 2006.
