Pluto was formally downgraded from planet to dwarf planet on August 24, 2006, by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). This reclassification was based on new criteria that defined what constitutes a planet, which Pluto did not meet due to its inability to clear its orbital neighborhood. The decision sparked significant debate and discussion within the astronomical community and the public.
