NEW! Pluto and the Deep
Solar System
30-45 Minutes • Planetarium Program Online | At LSC
Explore the objects at the farthest reaches of our solar system: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the dwarf planets. How were they discovered? What do we know about them? And why was Pluto reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet? Alignment to NJSLS - Science MS-ESS1-3 Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system.
