        @neiltyson The sad thing is that, instead of teaching about planetoids like Pluto or Ceres, my country's curriculum simply wiped Pluto.

        @neiltyson So is a dwarf planet just a regular planet but smaller? Or are there other criteria?

        @neiltyson What is the justification? This is planatery racism! Not as big as Saturn? Not as fast as Mercury? Colder than Uranus? Oh Pluto..
