Pluto and the Outer Solar System
April 11, 2007
Michael Brown planetary scientist, CA Institute Technology

Planetary scientist Michael Brown lectures on Pluto and the other objects orbiting the sun on the edges of the solar system.

Even after Pluto was discovered in 1930, astronomers continued their search for an elusive tenth planet. Decades of exploration coupled with advances in technology led to the discovery of icy objects more distant and sometimes even larger than Pluto. What are these objects that dwell in the outer solar system? How do they compare to Pluto?
