Albeit a "dwarf" planet.

As far as that goes, there are "terrestrial" planets. "Gaseous" planets, too.

All of which is more descriptive than plain ol' "planet". And you gotta admit, well, I suppose you don't, but Pluto is a midget compared to the rest. Of the planets. Of which Pluto is one. Still. But on the dwarfish side, by any reasonable measure.

Nostalgia can be interesting, fun, warm and fuzzy. And you can have it both ways.

Make Pluto a "Planet Emeritus", honorary status. Once was a planet, and still is a planet, sort of. As befitting it's size, a dwarf planet. The ONLY one, unique, special, wonderous.

Warmest regards.
