That's still very much the case. All planets are, by definition, in our solar system. Any planet-like bodies not in our solar system are called exo-planets.
You make it sound like exoplanets are not planets, but they are, unless you have a recent source that contradicts my education.
Did you hear about Pluto? That's messed up, right?
the human named Jerry has something to announce...!
Not really, no... it's a comet or at best a rogue kuiper belt object. It's smaller than earth's moon, its orbit is wildly elliptical, and it hasnt cleared out its orbital path. Many reasons not to consider it a planet, and so it was dropped.
If Pluto was to be called a planet, then Ceres would also need to be called one, and everyone seems happy with calling that an asteroid.
Thumbs nose
You know that's right.
