Pluto lovers, don't despair: Researchers have not given up the fight for
the former ninth planet.
None resemble
the former ninth planet, which also has a distinctly eccentric, or elliptical, orbit that crosses that of Neptune.
We have spotted an increasing number of its residents, with the discovery of numerous Pluto - sized objects leading to
the former ninth planet's downgraded status.
It was a revelation that prompted the International Astronomical Union to reclassify
the former ninth planet as a «dwarf planet» and Brown to christen himself «@plutokiller» on Twitter.
