NASA director says that for him, Pluto is a planet because "that's what we learned in school"

The director of NASA gets into another puddle and now says that for Pluto it is a planet because "that's how we learned it in school"

Astronomers usually make news because they make important discoveries. For a few years, the community of astronomical scientists has been fighting for Pluto. This planet some years ago stopped being considered as a planet to be planetoid or dwarf planet. The category was removed not because of its distance from the Sun or its brightness compared to the rest of the planets, but because of its size.

Pluto since then has not ceased to be the focus of controversy, generating important debates and controversies. Some astronomers want it to be considered a planet again. Jim Bridenstein, NASA director who is quite controversial, has said that he considers it a planet. There is great controversy surrounding this decision and it does not seem that it will end.

NASA director says Pluto is a planet

Bridenstein has said that: "Pluto is a planet, because that's how we learned it in school." It should be noted that Bridenstein was placed in this position by Donald Trump, so the controversy haunts him. The previous controversy in which he has been involved is that he does not believe in the existence of climate change. He has even said that the Earth has stopped warming about ten years ago.

“Just so you know my point of view, Pluto is a planet. You can post that the NASA director considers Pluto a planet again. I maintain my position, it is the way we learned it in schools "

Astronomers will basically pass their opinion on the lining and the ninth celestial body in our Solar System will remain a dwarf planet. After years of controversy in 2006, it was downgraded a bit and it does not seem that astronomers are going to get off the donkey.
