Synopsis by Tracie Cooper
This educational program takes a look at the debate that has surrounded the planetary designation of Pluto since its discovery in 1930. Students are given a look at the scientific process that led to the original classification of Pluto as a planet, and the 2006 reclassification categorizing it as a dwarf planet.
