Pluto
Pluto was discovered in 1930 as a and then in 2006, it was demoted from planets that I guess you could say. When we finally got a space probe out there, when the new Horizons probe circled the thing, it's tiny. It's like a seventh the size of our moon, it's one 400th the mass of the Earth. It is so small that its gravity is not enough, not strong enough to clear the space around it, it's a conservative floating drunk. People all Pluto, well, it was funny. I mean, as soon as Pluto was discovered, Pluto was adopted, especially by America. We like culturally important things.
