Speaker:
Robert Naeye on The Great Pluto Debate
*from Astronomical Society of the Pacific*
What is Pluto? Is it really a planet?
Astronomers have found more than 400 "Pluto-like" objects orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt. Although Pluto has a bigger diameter compared to the other objects, should it be considered a major planet or just the largest known Kuiper Belt object??? |
