When I was a kid, I learned about Dinosaur being “giant lizard”, and it’s been may-be 10 years, that I hear “Birds are dinosaurs”.
I am curious on how the concept evolve, both among paleontologists, and among the general public.

Science!
Science got rid of Pluto as a planet tho. 😭
Pluto wasn’t demoted. It didn’t get a pay cut or see a loss of benefits.
Our vocabulary has gotten richer and more specific as we’ve explored Pluto and things like it. As we launch missions like New Horizons out there, we’re going to need new terms to talk about the things we find. We sent a whole probe to Pluto; Uranus and Neptune had to share.
Holy shit science vanished a whole dwarf planet that’s insane 😱
