Explore the former planet of Pluto at the next Appold Planetarium program

When is a planet not a planet?  When it’s Pluto.

“What Happened to Pluto?” is the new program being presented by The Appold Planetarium at Lourdes College beginning Friday, Feb. 2, 2007 at 7:30 p.m.  The hour-long presentation will reveal how Pluto was discovered, why it was demoted, and what we call it now.
