Hit up the Sol system and check the planets...

They skip over Ceres in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but there on the outer edge...

Pluto is a planet again!

If you have a hard time remembering where the asteroid belt is, there is also a mnemnonic for that...

Pluto was made a dwarf planet again a few years ago.

It's been classed as a dwarf planet since the IAU defined what a planet was in 2006. Its status has not changed since.

We still have an OG Solar Quest (monopoly in space, sort of. It’s got some actual strategy,) that has plutonas a planet. I was pissed when the new board removed it.

Incidentally, pretty sure the loot-trash board games are a reference to it.

That's the thing though, the other dwarf planets aren't listed, Pluto is, and it has an orbit trajectory like the other planets.
