How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It ComingBy Mike Brown
Spiegel & Grau, 2010. 267 pgs. Nonfiction
Our solar system is but a fleck in the expanse of our galaxy, but within that fleck is a broad array of space and objects within that space. Mike Brown has spent his entire career searching the skies for wandering points of light. His true goal was to find the tenth planet to the solar system, but what he achieved was to demote Pluto, our solar system’s true underdog, from its status as a planet.
Brown’s chatty and delightful account of these events may not convince everyone of the justness of an 8 planet system, but it certainly provides a good argument and a delightful look into the world of astrological exploration.
