Neil deGrasse Tyson, of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City, was at the center of the storm in 2001 when the NY Times discovered that the planetarium had reclassified Pluto as an “icy object” instead of a full-fleged planet. He was immediately labeled a "Pluto hater" and received a flood of critical letters and emails. His memories of that time, as well as a wealth of Pluto-related songs, cartoons, correspondence and facts are collected in the book “The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America’s Favorite Planet,” recently released in paperback.
