| Fri: 6:30PM & Sat: 1:00PM | ||
| This program highlights two current NASA projects. Dawn, a mission to asteroid Vesta and minor planet Ceres, was launched on September 27, 2007. NASA is studying these worlds to determine what roles size and water play during the formation of planets. As the two largest protoplanets, Vesta and Ceres may both contain vital clues to determining how a solid planet such as Earth developed billions of years ago. New Horizons left Earth on January 19, 2006. Currently approaching the orbit of Saturn (Saturn itself is not in this position); New Horizons is on its way to Pluto and is due to arrive in 2015. Both missions are significant because they help us to understand planetary formation and evolution within our solar system. h/c access, $ | ||
