This is a good time to recommend a fascinating book about the science and politics that led to Pluto’s demotion: How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming, by Mike Brown. This is a delightful story, with heroes, romance, and even villains: the other scientists who got caught trying to steal a major scientific discovery.
