About Astronomy Talks – Pluto and the Outer Solar System
on
at Friarage Theatre in Yarm
Tue 10 Feb 2026 @ 7:00pm - 9:00pm
at Friarage Theatre in Yarm
In this talk we will discuss Pluto and other worlds far from the Sun.
We will discuss why it was re-classified as a ‘dwarf planet’ but show that irrespective of how we define it the New Horizons probe revealed to us the most intriguing world – a surface unlike any other with its own family of ‘minimoons’.
We will also discuss the related and most distant worlds from the Sun – the trans Neptunian objects.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A LIVE IN PERSON PRODUCTION HELD IN OUR FRIARAGE THEATRE.
If you require wheelchair access seating, then please contact the Box Office as we allocate a specific seating area for this.
