When the International Astronomical Union adopted a new definition of ""planet"" in August 2006, Pluto became a dwarf planet, drawing a divisive line in science and public opinions. The controversy of whether Pluto is a planet continues later, pitting scientist against scientist and invoking sentiments and nostalgia from the rest of the world. Written by two rewnowned astronomers on opposing sides of the debate, Pluto Confidential leaves no perspective out and no asteroid unturned in the Pluto debate.
