On Tuesday, February 26 at 7pm, the Fairborn Community Library is hosting a talk entitled: “Is Pluto a Planet, or Isn’t It?” Presenter Patrick Craig, president of the WSU Astronomy Club, will explore the implications of Pluto’s demotion. You’ll hear about the controversy surrounding Pluto’s status, and the decision taken by the Internation Astronomical Union to downgrade Pluto to”dwarf planet.” You’ll also hear about the space probe New Horizons. Audience participation is welcome. The talk is sponsored by the Friends of the Fairborn Library. Light refreshments will be provided.
