Rainwater Observatory in French Camp will be offering a free 4-County Electric Foundation Monthly Public Program Series presentation called “PLUTO: Icy World of Wonder!”
This updated presentation will be given Friday starting at 7 p.m. by Edwin Faughn, director of Rainwater Observatory.
“PLUTO: Icy World of Wonder!” explores one of the most mystifying and fascinating objects in the solar system. It has captivated people for decades and is filled with mythology, history, controversy and a wealth of scientific discovery. This exciting new updated program is visually intensive and will take us on a fascinating journey through this icy and alluring world. It will also reveal some of the latest discoveries and information regarding NASA’s spectacular New Horizons Pluto flyby mission last year!
After the presentation, weather permitting, an observing session will be held using some of Rainwater’s collection of powerful telescopes. The planetarium can be used if the outdoor observing is clouded out.
Rainwater Observatory and Planetarium is located 1 mile east of the Natchez Trace Parkway off MS Highway 413 near the village of French Camp.
