New Vistas Lecture
Pluto Up Close (But Still Not a Planet, though)Dr. Richard Pogge - The Ohio State UniversityPluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, and for most of the time we've known this distant world it has appeared only as a faint, fuzzy object with no discernible surface features in ground-based telescopes. Even the Hubble Space Telescope has been barely able to see more than blurry patterns. In July 2015, this all changed when the New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto and its moons, delivering the clearest look at this frozen world. I will present some of the latest results and images from New Horizons' historic visit to Pluto. Admission is by subscription only. Click here for more information.
