For the past few days we as a people have been crushing super hard on Pluto. As NASA's New Horizons has been flying by the dwarf planet we've all looked on in awe at the small heavenly body with a big heart. But there's one guy who isn't so impressed: astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. According to this interview he did with soon-to-be-host-of-The Late Show Stephen Colbert, the director of the Hayden Planetarium says that the little guy is great and all, but mostly Pluto is "awesome, minus 10 percent." In short, he thinks the dwarf would be better if it was a much bigger place. (Size matters!) Colbert, a Pluto sympathizer, takes issue with this. "It looks like a planet," he tells the famed scientist. "It's got atmosphere; it even has a heart—unlike you, who will give it no love." Watch their full exchange in the interview above.
