520 | _aSince its discovery in 1930, the ninth planet - Pluto - has held a warm place in the public imagination. So, when the American Museum of Natural History''s Hayden Planetarium stopped calling Pluto a planet, a great controversy ensued. _Hayden Planetarium''s Director Neil deGrasse Tyson found himself at the center of a firestorm led by angry, Pluto-loving elementary school students. But why has a cold, distant rock captured so many hearts? This episode of NOVA joins Tyson as he _recounts the amazing story of Pluto''s discovery and the captivating science that surrounds this former planet, including the possibility of finding more Pluto-like celestial bodies in the mysterious Kuiper belt, an area of icy rocks at the edge of _the solar system. From the scientists trying to re-classify Pluto to die-hard Pluto-philes, Tyson meets a fascinating cast of characters with just one thing in common: strong opinions about Pluto. | ||
