My very educated mother just said uh no Pluto. Plutoâ€™s demotion has been the subject of many debates in many communities. Many individuals simply refuse to accept that Pluto is no longer one of our main planets and is now a dwarf planet. This lecture will provide the reasons why Pluto was kicked out of the planetary club and let you decide for yourself which side of the debate you will align yourself with. Presented by NASA/JPL Ambassador and Meadowlands Astronomy Educator Laura Venner. $5/person, $3/members. To register by phone 201-777-2431.
