> Did you grow up with Pluto being a planet? Having to learn about it in all levels of schooling as a planet? Seeing images of all the planets and Pluto is included?

Yup, grew up with all of those things.

And when they discovered more Plutoids - some even bigger than Pluto - when I was in high school, I loved watching science change as more information came in. Because that's what science does.

I love that we now have better definitions to more accurately describe bodies orbiting a star, and Pluto is definitely not a planet the same way the 8 planets are.
