I can rattle off a half dozen reasons why Pluto should not be a planet. And listen to dozens of reasons why it should. But still it’s worth half a billion dollars to just see what it looks like.

I will bite!

Pluto orbits the Sun. I believe that all bodies in our solar system came from the Quasar it used to be. My belief is that nothing of Pluto’s size crosses the void between stars.

I do agree that Pluto’s orbital intersection of Neptune’s orbit means that one day, it will not be here.

But for now, it is a planet.
