Pluto is a planet again?




Ever since Pluto was named as a dwarf planet in 2006, people have debated Pluto's classification.  In January 2018, Facebook and Twitter were announcing that Pluto was once again classified as a planet.  This information came from an article published on the website Untold Universe that reported that, "Pluto has been reclassified as a major planet."  Untold Universe gave no source to confirm this statement, however, the content of the claim was copied directly from Futurism.com's 2017 article on April 1.  Untold Universe conveniently left out the bottom portion of Furturism.com's claim that clearly states that the statement was an April Fool's joke.
