Infotainment broadcaster Discovery has announced a new one-hour special that follows Nasa on the first encounter to the hotly debated former planet Pluto.
Discovery’s Dr. Dan Riskin anchors from mission central in Maryland. Produced by Canada’s Exploration Production, ‘Pluto: First Encounter’ will air first in Canada on 15 July and then across Discovery International networks in dozens of countries around the world including India, the UK, Scandinavia, China, Australia, South America, and the US. Viewers are invited to follow Pluto’s progress via Discovery.ca and through social platforms using #PlutoFlyBy. “Pluto is an outlier in every sense of the word.
It has a tilted orbit, a giant moon locked into a static spot in the sky, and four more exotic moons spinning around in chaos.
Everything we know about Pluto is already super-weird, and we haven’t even seen it up close yet. This is going to be amazing,” said Riskin.
Moving at breakneck speeds to the edge of the solar system for nearly a decade, the mission to Pluto is less than a month away from mankind’s closest approach to the mysterious and contentious dwarf planet.
The special joins the New Horizons’ epic quest led by NASA as the spacecraft completes its flyby, capturing first-ever images of the icy dwarf planet and its moons.
