Alan Stern (Southwest Research Inst) &
David Grinspoon (Planetary Science Inst)
In July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto, revealing its surface to our view for the first time. In this program, Drs. Stern and Grinspoon give us an insider's view of how this complex mission came to be and what it discovered at the edge of our solar system. Their new book (like the talk and with the same title) tells the full story of the mission, its ground-breaking discoveries at Pluto, and where it's going next. Here is new science, straight from the source, with great insight into what it's like to be part of a pioneering planetary mission.
