Pluto has been upset to say the least ever since it was demoted from the league of planets in our solar system.

The planet, according to the IAU, is a dwarf planet by definition.

It is also the prototype of what they are calling a new category of objects in the solar system.

The new objects were known as trans-Neptunians, but are now Plutoids.

The group consists of Pluto as well as Eris.
