The Dynamic & Beautiful Dwarf Planet

Free. Registration Recommended

LARMOR LECTURE THEATRE, MAIN CAMPUS, QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY BELFAST

Pluto has been in the world’s eye, with its demotion from planet to dwarf planet, and more recently with the fly-by of the New Horizons spacecraft. What exactly does it mean to be a planet and why isn’t Pluto one?
During this presentation Dr Wes Fraser from Queen’s University Belfast will not only try to answer these questions, but he will also explore some of the amazing imagery coming back to Earth from New Horizons and explain what we now know about this dynamic, and beloved, icy world.
