For 76 years, Pluto was a planet.

Then, in 2006, a group of astronomers held a meeting, took a vote, and suddenly Pluto found itself removed from the exclusive club of planets.

What happened?

In this episode of Certified Nonsense, we explore the discovery of Pluto, its decades-long career as the ninth planet, and the controversial decision that changed how we classify our Solar System.

Along the way we examine the official definition of a planet, discover why Pluto failed to "clear its orbital neighborhood," and ask the questions nobody else seems willing to investigate.

Did Pluto receive a formal performance review?

Was there a planetary appeals process?

Did Neptune testify before a review board?

And does Pluto spend its days wearing a "Planet Emeritus" name tag while filing paperwork for reinstatement?

Join us as we explore one of the most famous scientific reclassifications in history and discover that while the label changed, Pluto itself never did.

The science is real.

The implications are ridiculous.

Which makes it Certified Nonsense.
