Time for our last stop of the Solar System: Pluto.
Pluto is a complex and mysterious world of mountains, valleys, plains and craters. Discovered in 1930, Pluto was long considered our solar system's ninth planet. But after the discovery of similar intriguing worlds deeper in the distant Kuiper Belt, icy Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Pluto—which is smaller than Earth’s Moon—has a heart-shaped glacier that’s the size of Texas and Oklahoma. This fascinating world has blue skies, spinning moons, mountains as high as the Rockies, and it snows—but the snow is red.
Now that we've had events for each of the solar system's planets, let's explore them a bit more.
Meet at the posted coordinates at 2:00 and we'll walk the distance from the Sun all the way to Pluto, learning tidbits about each planet as we go. Event will end at 3:00 p.m.
Bring water/drinks, especially if it's hot. Dress for the weather.
Space Center Houston does require a parking fee. There should be areas across Nasa Rd where you can park for free, it'll just be a longer walk to the meet-up spot.
