What happened to Pluto? Did you know some scientists think Pluto was once a moon of Neptune? For 76 years, Pluto was called the ninth, and final, planet in our solar system. In 2006, that changed when scientists revised their definition of a planet. Now we have just 8 "planets." Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet, along with the large asteroid Ceres and another space object even larger than Pluto!
