Plutopalooza

History will be made on July 14, when NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft takes the first detailed images of Pluto during its flyby of Pluto and Pluto’s system of moons. In honor of this major milestone, the South Carolina State Museum will host Plutopalooza from 5 – 10 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14 featuring a planetarium “Solar System Tour” focusing on Pluto, live webcasts from NASA on the mission and night observing in the Boeing Observatory. The first 30 guests will receive a free pocket-size space book. Plutopalooza is included with museum membership or general admission, which is only two for $10 every Tuesday evening. There is an additional fee to see the planetarium “Solar System Tour.” Visit scmuseum.org to learn more.
