the decision taken by scientifics to stop calling Pluto a planet.

Both the passage and the lecture talk about the decision taken by scientifics to stop calling Pluto a planet. The main idea of both is to explain the reasons for Pluto's loss of status in our solar system. We can agree that it is mentioned in the reading as well as in the passage that a vote was conducted for scientists to vote whether they considered Pluto to be a planet. Because of its size and lack of asteroids around the so-called planet, since Pluto is even smaller than our moon, the 10% of the scientists that voted decided that Pluto would now be considered a dwarf planet. This happened during an International Astronomical Union Conference in 2006. There were two more astronomical bodies that were discussed in this conference, that as well as Pluto are now considered dwarf planets, one of these is Eris, which is a bit larger than Pluto is. The popularity of Pluto was such that groups of Pluto lovers joined and created a posture to revoke the decision taken by the scientist to stop considering Pluto as a planet. The reading and the listening are very complementary, since they talk about the same subjects but give us a very different point of view.
