Pluto: New Horizons
The New Horizons spacecraft will fly by Pluto, making its closest approach on July 14, 2015. It will give us the first detailed look of this dwarf planet, which has fascinated scientists and the general public ever since its discovery in 1930.
What do we know about Pluto? Why is it classified as a dwarf planet? Why does it come closer to the Sun than Neptune periodically? How did it end up with a moon, Charon, almost half its size, as well as four smaller moons in an unusual configuration? How has Pluto and its siblings in the Kuiper Belt revolutionized our understanding of the evolution of our Solar System?
This talk will explore these questions, in anticipation of the results that will be streaming in from the New Horizons spacecraft.
