"It has never before been necessary for any organisation to define a word that has been in common every day use so I see no reason why it was necessary on this occasion", The Telegraph quoted Dr David Morrison, director of the NASA Lunar Science Institute in California, as saying.
He added:
"Astronomers use adjectives such as giant and dwarf to describe different subclasses of objects like planets, stars and galaxies, so why could Pluto not remain as a dwarf planet just as Jupiter is a giant planet".
