X-WR-CALDESC:Nov. 11\, 2020 at 7:00 pm PST Dr. Michael Brown\, of Caltech\,
  will give a free\, illustrated\, non-technical talk.\n\n”Planet 9 from Ou
 ter Space: Searching for a Distant Planet in our Solar System”\n\nThe talk
  is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series (through Foothill 
 College)\, now in its 21st year.\n\nAbout this Lecture\n\nJust when the wo
 rld was finally getting used to only having eight planets orbiting the Sun
 \, the presence of a new ninth one is slowly coming into view at the edge 
 of the solar system. This planet -- Planet Nine -- is inferred from of its
  gravitational effects shaping the disk of small icy bodies beyond Neptune
  known as the Kuiper belt. Dr. Brown will talk about the history of planet
 ary discovery (and demotion)\, why we think a new one is on the verge of b
 eing found\, and the techniques that we are using to try to find this very
  faint body lurking in the far reaches of our planetary system.\n\nDr. Mic
 hael Brown is a Professor of Planetary Astronomy at the California Institu
 te of Technology where he teaches classes from introductory physics to the
  science of the solar system. He is the author of 'How I Killed Pluto and 
 Why It Had It Coming'\, an award-winning\, best-selling memoir of the disc
 overies leading to the demotion of Pluto as a planet. He has discovered do
 zens of dwarf planets and received the 2012 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics fo
 r his fundamental contributions to our understanding of the extent and his
 tory of our planetary system. He and his research group spend their time s
 earching for and studying the most distant objects in the Solar System.\n
