Time: Tuesday, Aug 27, 2019 -

Location: Walnut Creek, CA

Dr. Ross Beyer, NASA Ames and the SETI Institute, will discuss what the New Horizons space probe revealed about the surface of Pluto’s moon Charon. The probe showed evidence of a sub-surface ocean early on and Charon’s surface suggests how icy worlds can form far from the gravitational influences of giant planets.
