Feb 18 Is The Day They Discovered Pluto In 1930

Pluto was discovered Feb. 18,1930, at the observatory in Flagstaff Ariz. It was deemed the ninth planet in the solar system, however in 2005, Pluto was demoted as a non-planet because it didn't meet new astronomy criteria. It needed to “clear the neighborhood around its orbit" according to the International Astronomical Union.

No matter if it is a planet or not, we still celebrate its birth into our solar system. Space is amazing, scary and extremely uncharted. We learn something new every day. Pluto was a planet. Now it's not. What will we learn tomorrow?
