October Lecture

Lecture 25 October 20, 2006

Lecture by Dr. Mel Blake, PARI

What Happened to Pluto?
Everyone has grown up memorizing the names of all the planets. Many people were stunned by the announcement this summer that Pluto, according to astronomers, would no longer be called a planet. We will go into the history on planetary discoveries and explain the motivation for this "demotion" of Pluto.
