        @neiltyson I have never written hate-mail about #Pluto, but I still like to list it as the 9th planet, not call it a dwarf planet...

        @BillStewart415 @neiltyson as we planetary scientists have explained: dwarf planets are planets. Dwarf is an adjective modifier/planet type!

        @neiltyson question. Why does Pluto look so bright? Isn't too far away from the sun to look so bright?

        @neiltyson Not sure that deciding that Pluto is a "dwarf" was appropriate. Perhaps we could have settled on "little planet" :D
