Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 (edited)  On Aug. 24, 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted to downgrade Pluto to a dwarf planet after it was discovered to be much smaller than originally thought, according to History. Now, Aug. 24 is recognized as Pluto Demoted Day. Despite Pluto’s demotion, the state of New Mexico recognizes Pluto’s existence as a planet. Former Democratic Rep. Joni Marie Gutierrez introduced a joint memorial in 2007 that declared Pluto a planet, according to House Joint Memorial 54. The legislation passed, but a year earlier, the IAU’s decision to demote Pluto sparked scientific and cultural controversies.    Edited October 25, 2024 by Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 1 1 Quote
