Yes, it is. Pluto itself has not changed in any way, but it was recently decided that the definition of the word "planet" was due for an update, and Pluto now falls outside the definition. It is now a dwarf planet.

The International Astronomical Union demoted Pluto from being a 'planet' to being a 'dwarf planet.' So, there are now officially only eight planets in our solar system.
