About the show: "Exploring New Horizons"
Exploring New Horizons looks at the New Horizons spacecraft and its mission to dwarf planet Pluto and other Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). The program reviews the history of planetary discovery from ancient times and focuses on Pluto and how it led to an amazing mission to explore the Kuiper Belt. This program also shows the importance of the scientific method and how it applies to our understanding of the Solar System. Exploring New Horizons is a production of the Bays Mountain Planetarium.
