In August 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted Pluto out of planethood. Far from the sun, tiny, and eccentric in orbit, it's a wonder Pluto has any fans. Yet during the mounting debate over Pluto's status, Americans rallied behind the extraterrestrial underdog.

The year of Pluto's discovery, Disney created an irresistible pup by the same name, and, as one NASA scientist put it, Pluto was "discovered by an American for America." Pluto is entrenched in our cultural, patriotic view of the cosmos, and Neil deGrasse Tyson is on a quest to discover why.

Neil brings fun to the history of Pluto. As a fan of Pluto who was originally very upset about the demotion, I was angry with Neil. But after this book, I forgive you Neil.

We love you Neil!

Like many, I was disappointed when I learned Pluto was demoted to Dwarf Planet. Though this was based on sentiment, not science. And I had NO IDEA what drama went on behind the scenes. I LOVED this book and it's entertaining, lighthearted approach to this controversial decision. I learned so much about Pluto and other planets in the process. No matter what side of the "Is Pluto a Planet" debate you find yourself, I recommend this book, especially the Audible version. I'm glad Dr. Tyson does not narrate because his voice is sometimes too deep for me to hear clearly with headphones.

Entertaining Educational Read even for Pluto Lover

A book that sounds defensive by a human who should know better. I’m a huge fan of the man, but this is not his greatest work. Listen to some of his other books first.

NdGT really comes through on this one. He makes a fantastic case for Pluto's downgrading in 2006 (which he was a very large part of). He also makes it clear that he did not make the decision lightly, and he also shows us how much flak he caught for it - both from scientists and the general public. He does this deftly, with brilliance and humor throughout. High recommendations.

An interesting read on how educated people can get wrapped up in nostalgia and labeling things. The exposure over the Pluto declassification as a plant certainly stocked the discussion on scientific topics.
