F t 1.1.8 Quter Analyze Expository Writing
A 2
The exhibit models, their accompanying text, and the
overall layout of the Rose Center organized the principal
contents of the solar system by objects of like properties,
rather than as enumerations of planets and their moons.
This decision landed Pluto among the growing number of
Icy objects found beyond Neptune, and left it unmentioned
and out of view among our models for the rocky, terrestrial
objects (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and the gas
giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). By this
organization, we practically abandoned the concept of
planet altogether
- Neil deGrasse Tyson, The Pluto Files

C. The exhibit of the Hayden Planetarium didn't classify Pluto the
same way it classified other planets
OD Pluto was considered just another icy object that was found in
