This presentation is recommended for ages 5 and up.
Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has been just a dot among the stars. This summer, we finally found out what it really looks like as the New Horizons spacecraft flew by. This was the very first visit to Pluto by a spacecraft from Earth. Join us and see how Pluto and its moons were discovered and named, and appreciate how hard it has been to find out anything more about Pluto until now. Follow the New Horizons spacecraft to the former ninth planet and see it up close for the very first time.
We will also see what’s up in our October night sky that you can see from your own back yard.
No matter what the weather is outside, the stars always shine in Weymouth’s community planetarium.
