Thanks to Karen for this observation on the demotion of the ninth planet of our solar system to the status "dwarf planet":
And the winner is...
Gustav Holst. His suite The Planets is no longer out of date, astronomically speaking. Instead it turns out to be ahead of its time.
Though I might add I feel a pang of regret that there are now no major planets named after Disney cartoon characters.
And have all the plutocrats suddenly become wealthy dwarves?

At least its still a planet, albeit a dwarf one. There were folk trying to downgrade it to a mere asteroid!
