I♥Pluto Festival 2021 | Pluto After New Horizons

I Heart Pluto Festival 2021, Day 4 | Talk by Dr. Will Grundy: “Pluto After New Horizons“ Six years after the New Horizons flyby changed Pluto from a faint point of light to a complex double planet, scientists are still investigating how it really works. Analysis of the data returned by New Horizons will continue for decades to come, but that’s not the only source. Crucial additional information comes from laboratory studies and from telescopes. Dr. Will Grundy is a planetary scientist and head of the New Horizons mission’s Surface Composition Team. The 2021 virtual I Heart Pluto Festival is produced by the nonprofit Lowell Observatory () and is free to the public. Donations to support our ongoing science education and research can be made at
