(If you are listening closely, you will hear Salman say we have 9 planets in our solar system. FYI: I went to grad school with Salman - we knew Clyde Tombaugh (discovered Pluto) very well. Some habits die hard.)

I understand the desire to keep your discovery a planet, and while pluto doesn't qualify as a planet I'm still a fan (for what if matters)

Clyde knew about the debate surrounding Pluto's classification. at the time, it was believed that Eris was slightly bigger than Pluto. It is not. Still, there are lots of Plutoids / dwarf planets out there and the line had to be drawn somewhere. Looking forward to MU69 flyby on January 1, 2019!!
