<<>>Pluto is stil legally a planet (Every time it passes over New Mexico)
In 2007, the state’s house of representatives voted on a piece of legislature that concludes, “As Pluto passes overhead through New Mexico’s excellent night skies, it be declared a planet and that March 13, 2007 be declared ‘Pluto Planet Day’ at the legislature.” The house voted in favor, and thus, depending on where (and when) you are, Pluto is definitely still a planet.
If you’re wondering where the enthusiasm comes from, the state has a special connection to Pluto, as Clyde Tombaugh, its discoverer, taught astronomy at New Mexico State University for nearly 20 years and was a proud resident of the state (and he’s also the great-nephew of baseball pitcher and the 2014 MLB National League MVP Clayton Kershaw).
Most in the astronomy community probably don’t agree with New Mexico on this issue, but we’re gonna trust them on this one. Welcome back, Pluto!
So Clayton Kershaw is a time traveler?
