I Pluto Festival 2021, Pluto After New Horizons

I Heart Pluto Festival 2021, Day 4, Talk by Dr. Will Grundy: Pluto After New Horizons Six years after the New Horizons flyby changed Pluto from a faint point of light to a complex double planet, scientists are still investigating how it really works. Analysis of the data returned by New Horizons will continue for decades to come, but that s not the only source. Crucial additional information comes from laboratory studies and from telescopes. Dr. Will Grundy is a planetary scientist and head of the New Horizons missions Surface Composition Team. The 2021 virtual I Heart Pluto Festival is produced by the nonprofit Lowell Observatory and is free to the public. Donations to support our ongoing science education and research can be made at
