A group of scientists want Pluto to be considered a planet again, even if hundreds of other objects earn the same rank.
According to pictures from New Horizon, in the darkest, deepest reaches of our solar system, you could stand on the summit of a mountain covered by exotic ices and look up at hazy blue skies.
New Horizons' flyby of Pluto let us see a brand new world that doesn't fit in our conventional categories, and reminded us that at our heart, we're explorers, not drones.
The debate over whether Pluto is a planet, much less what constitutes a planet, is still raging in the scientific community.
Pluto may be a dwarf planet whose official status is in flux. But that doesn't mean it's not a very special place...

It's actually a good thing there's a debate about whether to classify Pluto as a planet or something else.
