Take a virtual tour of our solar system, including Pluto

Published 8:33 pm Wednesday, July 8, 2015

Kevin Manning, an astronomer and former consultant to NASA, will speak from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Mukilteo Library, 4675 Harbour Pointe Blvd.

Manning will take guests on a virtual journey to visit the sun, planets, their moons, and debris left over from the earliest times of the solar system’s formation.

He will also give a detailed look at Pluto using images from the New Horizons spacecraft — on the day it comes in closest proximity to Pluto — and will explain why they contain an incredible story about the origins and outskirts of our solar system.

For ages 8 and up.
