Pluto
Sentinel of the Outer Solar System
Orbiting at the edge or the outer Solar System/ Pluto is an intriguing
object in astronomy. Since the fascinating events surrounding its
discovery, it has helped increase our understanding of the origin and
evolution or the Solar System and has raised questions about the
nature and benefits of scientific classification.
This is a timely and exciting account of Pluto and its satellites.
The author uses Pluto as a case study to discuss discovery in
astronomy and how remote astronomical bodies are investigated. He
also examines the role of classification in science by discussing
Pluto s recent classification as a dwarf planet. Besides Pluto/ the
book also explores the rich assortment of bodies that constitute the
Edgcworth-Kuipcr Belt, of which Pluto is the innermost substantial
member.
Richly illustrated and up to date, this book is written for
general readers, amateur astronomers and students alike. Boxed text
provides more advanced information especially for readers who wish
to delve deeper into the subject.
