I didn't get the memo! Bravo, *planet* Pluto!

New Horizons is now 8.73 AU out from Pluto and 22.69 AU from earth. That’s a bit over 3 hours and 8.5 light minutes away from us.
Quite a litter of pups old Pluto has there. He’s the pet non-planet of the solar system.
But he is a “wanderer” (planet), so I don’t really agree that he should have been demoted.
