Pluto has been one of the most mysterious objects in our edge of space. The confusion about our distant neighbor comes from misunderstanding. It was discovered in 1930, and later its moon, Charon, was found. We learn about the discovery of the Kuiper Belt and Eris, the 2006 decision to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, and what drove the 2006 launch of New Horizons (including the Jupiter gravity assist).In the 2015 flyby, evidence of active geology was found. The mission to the edge of our solar system sought to answer a question nagging scientists – what Pluto is anyway?
Toronto-based Deep Field Productions’ Unsolved Universe Series depicts the boom in space discovery. Breathtaking imagery and new insights boost our age-old quest to understand the cosmos.
