The ultimate astronomical mix-up! This person has brilliantly confused Pluto's demotion from planetary status with... the number of US states? The cosmic comedy here is that in 2006, the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as a "dwarf planet," but that has absolutely nothing to do with America's 50 states. It's like saying we have fewer days in the week because Jupiter's red spot is shrinking. The scientific illiteracy is so magnificent it's practically its own celestial body!
