Legendary actor William Shatner wants President Trump to restore Pluto to greatness as scientists claim to have found a \u201cnew\u201d ninth planet.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo there\u2019s a 10th planet that was found in our solar system?\u201d \u201cStar Trek\u2019s\u201d Captain Kirk, 94, wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI suggest that we get Trump to name it and while he is at it; restore Pluto as a planet and put an end to the union\u2019s tyranny of the cosmos,\u201d wrote the two-time Emmy Award winner.<\/p>\n The \u201cBoston Legal\u201d star then suggested his fans recruit<\/a> X owner Elon Musk to \u201cget the President to sign one of those Executive thingies to make Pluto a planet again.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cStar Trek\u201d star implored X owner Elon Musk to \u201cget the President to sign one of those Executive thingies to make Pluto a planet again.\u201d Getty Images for One Drop<\/p>\n William Shatner\/X<\/p>\n Some repliers expressed doubt that the President of the United States had jurisdiction in matters of the stars \u2014 but Shatner suggested the final frontier of Trump\u2019s authority has yet to be explored.<\/p>\n \u201cSays who? He renamed a Gulf and the Astronomer who discovered Pluto was American. Seems like America has jurisdiction on things outside its borders,\u201d Shatner wrote<\/a>, adding the expressionless emoji.<\/p>\n The \u201cRocket Man\u201d singer was riled by a new study<\/a> that claimed to have discovered a far-off and entirely theoretical celestial body that some believe qualifies as the \u201cninth\u201d planet in our dear solar system. <\/p>\n President Donald Trump changed \u201cThe Gulf of Mexico\u201d to \u201cThe Gulf of America\u201d earlier this year.

Maybe it\u2019s to prevent bullying?\u201d<\/p>\n Space-X CEO Elon Musk was recruited by the original Captain James T. Kirk to bend Trump\u2019s ear toward Pluto.
