In one of his podcasts, he talks about how surprised the astrophysicist/astronomer community was over the reaction to the demotion of Pluto. They did not expect the public to notice. What they did not take into consideration is that people love the planets and the stargazers took one away.

They demoted Pluto because they had found two more planets, after decades of denying their existence. ENORMOUS embarrassment. So they kept the existence of these planets from the public, demoted Pluto to “dwarf planet,” and then announced the existence of the two “dwarf planets.”

Ironically, Pluto wasn’t even IN Snow White.
