The next year, the International Astronomical Union placed Pluto in a new category, "dwarf planet," because in its view, a full-fledged planet must be the gravitational bully of its orbit, and Pluto was not.

The New Horizons spacecraft was set to make its closest approach of the dwarf planet on Tuesday, and while scientists wait for confirmation of that flyby--and the 16 months worth of data that it will bring 。

按计划设定，新视野号飞行探测器会在周二近距离飞掠这颗矮行星，届时将向在地面等待确认飞掠的科学家传回历史16个月所收集到的数据。
