SUMMARY:Pluto: Planet\, TNO\, KBO\, or a dwarf planet is still the las
 t solar system outpost?\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Sanjay Lim
 aye\, UW Space Science and Engineering
DESCRIPTION:In a little over half a century since the first successful
  fly-by of a planet on 14 December 1962\, the survey of the solar syst
 em was completed when the New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto on 1
 4 July 2015.  Discovered during a long and tedious search started by P
 ercival Lowell for a massive planet beyond the orbit of Neptune on 18 
 February 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh\, it was found to be too small to affe
 ct the orbits of other planets.  In the last few decades\, we have lea
 rned that Pluto is the innermost (closer to the sun) member of a class
  of icy\, rocky and small objects that comprise the Edgeworth-Kuiper B
 elt.  New Horizon's survey of Pluto and its moons shows it to be an ob
 ject unlike anything else we have seen in the solar system to date.  N
 ow on its way to another distant object\, New Horizons is continuing t
 o send its treasured data back to Earth.
