Pluto: A Space Discovery Guide

Did you know that Pluto has mountains, glaciers, and even blue skies? In July 2015 a spacecraft called <em>New Horizons</em> finally reached Pluto—almost ten years after it had launched! The spacecraft flew by Pluto to take the first close-up photos of the dwarf planet. When it began sending those photos back to Earth, scientists were amazed by what they saw. Pluto was more fascinating than scientists ever imagined! Read this book to learn more about <em>New Horizons</em>, its long journey to Pluto, and the things scientists learned from the photos of this distant dwarf planet.
