During a Senate hearing on NASA’s budget, Administrator Jared Isaacman discussed the possibility of reclassifying Pluto as a planet, a topic raised by Senator Jerry Moran. Pluto was reclassified as a 'dwarf planet' in 2006 due to not meeting the criteria of clearing its orbital path, despite meeting the other two conditions. Isaacman supports revisiting this classification, especially after new discoveries from the New Horizons mission in 2015 that revealed Pluto's complex features. The IAU has not changed its stance since 2006.
