On that fateful day, the International Astronomical Union demoted Pluto to a "dwarf planet," tossing it out of the nine-member family of planets in the solar system. The reason? It did not meet one of the new, IAU criteria that a full-fledged planet must have an orbit clear of celestial debris. Pluto's, unfortunately, is cluttered with such debris.
