‘Make Pluto a planet again’: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman calls for restoration of status at US Senate hearing

'Make Pluto a planet again': NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman calls for restoration of status at US Senate hearing

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has reiterated his support for restoring Pluto to planet status.Speaking during a US Senate hearing on Tuesday, Isaacman expressed strong support for reconsidering Pluto’s classification.Responding to a question from Senator Jerry Moran, chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Isakman said, “Senator, I am in favor of ‘making Pluto a planet again.’He also indicated that NASA researchers are working on studies that could help reopen the scientific debate over Pluto’s status, USA Today reports. Isaacman said he firmly believes that the distant icy world should not be reclassified as a dwarf planet.His comments come nearly two decades after Pluto was stripped of its planet status in a 2006 decision by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).Isaacman, who was confirmed as NASA Administrator in December 2025, has expressed similar views before, including in media interviews where he suggested that Pluto’s classification deserves fresh scrutiny.

Why was Pluto’s status reduced?

Pluto was discovered by American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 and was long considered the ninth planet in the Solar System.However, in 2006, the IAU redefined qualification as a planet. While Pluto meets some of the criteria, such as orbiting the Sun and being spherical in shape, it does not meet the requirement to ‘clear its orbit’ of other debris.Because of this, Pluto was reclassified as a ‘dwarf planet’, a designation that placed it in a separate category with other icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.Pluto is a small, frozen world about 1,400 miles wide, located at the edge of the Solar System. It is part of the Kuiper Belt, a region filled with icy objects and remnants of the early Solar System.NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft remains the only mission to fly past Pluto, completing a historic flyby in 2015 and providing the first close-up images of its surface and moons.

Ongoing debate on definition of planets

The question of Pluto’s status has remained a matter of scientific and public debate since its reclassification.Some planetary scientists, including Alan Stern, head of the New Horizons mission, argue that Pluto should still be considered a planet based on its geology and atmosphere, not just orbital criteria.Public figures have also joined the discussion, with supporters calling for a broader definition of what constitutes a planet.Pluto was identified after years of discovery efforts following the predictions of astronomer Percival Lowell, who theorized the existence of a distant ‘Planet X’ based on irregularities in the orbit of Uranus.Clyde Tombaugh finally discovered Pluto in 1930 at Lowell Observatory in Arizona.The name ‘Pluto’ was suggested by 11-year-old Venetia Burney of England, inspired by the Roman god of the underworld, and later adopted by astronomers.Despite new calls from NASA leadership and supporters, Pluto’s classification remains unchanged under current International Astronomical Union rules.Any official reclassification would require a revision of the scientific definition of a planet, a step that will continue to face debate within the global astronomy community.

देहरादून: भारी बारिश के कारण सहस्त्रधारा में बाढ़ जैसी स्थिति, गुचू पानी में फंसे सात पर्यटक, एसडीआरएफ ने बचाया – देहरादून भारी बारिश के कारण सहस्त्रधारा में बाढ़ जैसी स्थिति, गुचू पानी में सात पर्यटक फंसे

शहर और आसपास के इलाकों में बारिश के कारण गुरुवार को सहस्रधारा में बाढ़ जैसे हालात हो गए. यहां पर्यटकों के नहाने के लिए बनाए गए तालाबों की दीवारें क्षतिग्रस्त हो गईं। उधर, गुच्चूपानी में नहाने गए सात पर्यटक फंस गए, जिन्हें एसडीआरएफ ने रेस्क्यू ऑपरेशन चलाकर बचाया। इनके अलावा शहर में भी भारी बारिश के कारण कई जगहों पर जलभराव हो गया।

पिछले साल आई आपदा ने सहस्त्रधारा में भारी तबाही मचाई थी। पुनर्निर्माण के बाद गर्मियों में यह पर्यटक स्थल फिर से गुलजार हो गया लेकिन गुरुवार को बारिश के कारण तालाबों की दीवारें फिर टूट गईं। अच्छी बात यह रही कि समय रहते पर्यटकों को निकाल लिया गया और कोई जनहानि नहीं हुई।

उधर, गुच्चुपानी में नहाने गए सात पर्यटक तेज बहाव के कारण एक टापू पर फंस गए। एसडीआरएफ के एसएसपी अर्पण यदुवंशी ने बताया कि शुरुआत में सूचना मिली थी कि यहां तीन पर्यटक फंसे हुए हैं. जब टीम पहुंची तो देखा कि सात पर्यटक उफनती नदी के एक टापू पर फंसे हुए हैं। पानी का बहाव तेज होने से पर्यटक बेहद घबरा गए। एसडीआरएफ की टीम ने तुरंत ऑपरेशन शुरू किया और सभी को सुरक्षित बचा लिया गया.

In Ahmedabad, Virat Kohli bid farewell to Shubman Gill by staring at him. video viral

Virat Kohli brought the fire, but Royal Challengers Bangalore needed more than just his intensity as Gujarat Titans held on to hold on in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 30.

Defending a modest target of 156 runs, RCB needed early wickets to keep themselves alive in the contest and they got this through Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The experienced fast bowler struck twice in the powerplay to dismiss both Gujarat openers, giving the visitors a much-needed start to chase the target which seemed to be in GT’s control.

gt vs rcb, IPL 2026: Update | Achievement:

The biggest success came on the last ball of the fifth over when Shubman Gill looked to drive through cover. Kohli, deployed in the ring, reacted sharply and took the catch cleanly to complete a crucial catch. What followed was vintage Kohli – a fierce stare in Gill’s direction, a roar of celebration and the kind of passionate reaction that boosted RCB’s energy on the field for a while.

RCB felt an opening with both Gill and Sai Sudarshan returning to the pavilion. Gujarat’s top order has often set the tone for their chase, and Kohli’s animated celebration reflected the significance of the moment as much as the dismissal itself. For a side defending below par, confidence in the contest was suddenly back.

However, this belief was undermined by a chaotic batting effort early in the evening. After a fast start led by Kohli, RCB were all out for 155 in 19.2 overs.

The former RCB skipper came out swinging and attacked Kagiso Rabada in a thrilling opening encounter, scoring 28 runs in just 13 balls and 21 runs in one over from Rabada, which included five fours in a row. For a short while, RCB were flying at a pace of over 10 per over and looked to be headed for a great total.

But Gill’s decision to remain with Rabada proved to be decisive. The South African counterattacked to dismiss Kohli and exposed RCB’s fragile middle order. After seven overs their score was 71 runs for 2 wickets, but in just 10.3 minutes their score became 96 runs for 6 wickets.

Devdutt Padikkal scored 40 and briefly threatened to rebuild, but the Gujarat attack never loosened its grip. Arshad Khan took 3 wickets for 22 runs, Rashid Khan took 2 wickets for 19 runs and Jason Holder gave a brilliant all-round performance by taking 2 wickets for 29 runs and three catches.

Kohli gave spark to RCB in both the innings. Gujarat’s hand is still strong.

Move over TACO, NACHO takes over: Trump earns new nickname amid oil disruption from blockade of the Strait of Hormuz

Move over TACO, NACHO takes over: Trump earns new nickname amid oil disruption from blockade of the Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump has earned a new nickname as tensions over Iran and the Strait of Hormuz fuel fresh market and political commentary. Analysts are now moving from the earlier ‘TACO’ label to the new term ‘NACHO’ for the US President.The change comes amid an ongoing blockade between the Trump administration and Iran over control and access to the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy route, and continued disruptions in oil shipments that have hit global fuel prices.Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas shed light on the new term in a post on X.“We thought we were getting a TACO, ‘Trump Always Chickens Out.’ But so far we’ve got Nacho, ‘Not a Chance Hormuz Opens,'” Blass wrote.The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, handles about 20% of global crude oil shipments. Any disruption along the route has an immediate impact on global energy supplies and prices.Two months into the ongoing crisis, Iran has reportedly tightened its control over the strait, while the United States has imposed sanctions on Iranian ports and shipping activity.Iran has indicated it might consider reopening the waterway if U.S. sanctions are lifted, but Washington has said any relaxation would depend on Iran meeting its demands regarding its nuclear enrichment program.Despite the ceasefire framework, talks between the US, Israel and Iran have stalled several times. A planned follow-up round of talks recently collapsed after Trump recalled his negotiating team to Washington.The disruption has already sent fuel prices soaring, with U.S. gasoline prices reaching $4 a gallon earlier this month for the first time since 2022.What is a taco?TACO stands for ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ and was coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong.This refers to a pattern observed by traders and analysts in which Trump announces aggressive tariffs or policy threats, markets react negatively and then the measures are delayed, reversed or softened.This pattern has become widely used on Wall Street, where some investors buy stocks after market declines due to policy announcements, with the expectation that there will be a rebound if the threats are not fully implemented.The rise of the ‘nacho’ labelNACHO stands for ‘Not a Chance Hormuz Opens’ and was described by Javier Blas. This reflects growing skepticism among traders that the Strait of Hormuz dispute will be quickly resolved despite diplomatic efforts and ceasefire arrangements.White House spokesman Kush Desai pushed back on the narrative, taking issue with critics of the administration’s trade and policy record.“Are these the same geniuses who thought President Trump would never secure voluntary most-favoured nation drug pricing deals or renegotiate broken trade deals?” Desai said in response to the new nickname, reports the Independent. Trump himself has previously rejected the ‘TACO’ label, calling it inaccurate and a negotiating tactic rather than a reversal of his actions.“I eat chicken? Oh, I’ve never heard of that,” he said earlier, arguing that market reactions are part of broader deal-making dynamics.
