Pluto is still in our solar system - it only got 'demoted' from true planet to dwarf (or minor) planet. After we discovered a bunch of new object something like Pluto, we had to decide if they would all be called planets, or we came up with a consistent definition which excluded them. The IAU decided in 2006 to reclassify - such that we have only 8 true planets. But Pluto is not forgotten.
