A Report from the Planetary Frontier: The Latest from New Horizons at Pluto

Pluto

On July 14, 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew 7,800 miles above the surface of Pluto and sent back fascinating images of the dwarf planet and its large (and intriguing) moon, Charon. Many of the images show unexpected beauty and complexity on Pluto's surface. While the data are still coming in from the encounter, Dr. Moore will show us the latest photos and fill us in on the current thinking among the New Horizons team members about Pluto, its moons, and the unexplored frontier that lies beyond.

Speaker: Dr. Jeff Moore, NASA Ames
