Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh and was originally considered to be the ninth planet from the Sun, but after 1992, its status as a planet was questioned following the discovery of several objects of similar size in the Kuiper belt.
In 2005, Eris, a dwarf planet in the scattered disc which is 27% more massive than Pluto, was discovered. This led the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to define the term "planet" formally in 2006, during their 26th General Assembly. That definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a dwarf planet.
Pluto is the largest and second-most-massive known dwarf planet in the Solar System, and the ninth-largest and tenth-most-massive known object directly orbiting the Sun. It is the largest known trans-Neptunian object by volume but is less massive than Eris. Like other Kuiper belt objects, Pluto is primarily made of ice and rock and is relatively small.
About one-sixth the mass of the Moon and one-third its volume. It has a moderately eccentric and inclined orbit during which it ranges from 30 to 49 astronomical units from the Sun. This means that Pluto periodically comes closer to the Sun than Neptune, but a stable orbital resonance with Neptune prevents them from colliding. Light from the Sun takes about 5.5 hours to reach Pluto.
On July 2015, the New Horizons became the first spacecraft to fly by Pluto. During its brief flyby, New Horizons made detailed measurements and observations of Pluto and its moons. after seeing the pictures of the new horizons our idea of pluto has changed a lot and we are still processing data

Something interesting about Pluto, it's that the name comes from the roman god Pluto, god of the underworld. Our society dont wanna see the underworld, hides it, does not call it planet... but there it is, call it like you want, there is a god, influencing us.
Great!
