It was determined as recently as 2010 that Pluto does not qualify as a true planet due to its gaseous mass formation, illegitimate shape, and irregular orbit. We are back to eight planets until final confirmation of Planet X as the true ninth planet.

It is actually the first member of a new category called dwarf planets. the newest dwarf planet is Eris which is slightly larger than Pluto.
