* EXPLORE THE WONDERS OF OUR PLANETARY NEIGHBOURHOOD *
Could we use the Sun to find a new Earth?
COMETS ■ ASTEROIDS ■ EXPLORATION & MORE
For centuries, our ancestors thought that Earth was the centre of the universe. Now, thanks to hundreds of years of observation, mathematical modelling and astrophysics, we understand that our planet is one of eight in our neighbourhood: The Solar System. And even now, that neighbourhood is astounding scientists with each new revelation that is uncovered. Come with us on a journey from the very birth of our star to the formation of each of the planets, as well as the rocky and icy objects that may be smaller but are still vitally important to the whole. Learn about each of the major planets in turn, and about the reasons why Pluto was demoted from full planethood to join the ranks of the dwarf planets.
