Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist who made the News nationally for his accusations that Pluto was not a planet. He is currently the Director of the Hayden Planetarium where it was first discovered that Pluto was not hanging up with the rest of the solar system. People were outraged and letters upon letters were sent to Neil regarding the concerns of the planet, Pluto. As a result, he did much research as to if it should be considered a planet or not, including his visit to Disney world to see “Pluto” as well as traveling to the hometown of the discoverer of the planet, Clyde Tombaugh and speaking with his family and town members. After all of Neil’s research, he declared that Pluto is indeed a planet.
