Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the fly-by of Pluto by the New Horizons spacecraft! "Exploring New Horizons" looks at Pluto. We travel through time to witness the forward progression of discovery in our Solar System and find out how important the scientific method really is. We see how Pluto was discovered and how we understand it today as the most popular of dwarf planets. We also ride along the New Horizons spacecraft and experience Pluto first hand. During the presentation, we incorporate a live activity with the audience that highlights Pluto's discovery and the show ends with a live update of the New Horizons mission.

For educators, this show is best for 3rd grade groups and above. (A Bay's Mountain Planetarium Production)
