Although eight of the planetary bodies discovered before 1950 remain "planets" under the modern definition, some celestial bodies, such as Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta (each an object in the solar asteroid belt), and Pluto (the first trans-Neptunian object discovered), that were once considered planets by the scientific community, are no longer viewed as such.
Meski delapan benda planet yang ditemukan sebelum 1950 masih dianggap "planet" sesuai definisi modern, sejumlah benda angkasa seperti Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta (masing-masing objek di sabuk asteroid Matahari), dan Pluto (objek trans-Neptunus yang pertama ditemukan) yang dulunya dianggap planet oleh komunitas ilmuwan sudah tidak dipermasalahkan lagi.
