... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above.

Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...
