In Future Issues
The recent debate over the definition of “planet” in our solar system is nothing new. Astronomers and the public wrestled with the same quandry in the early 1800s, when the first asteroids were discovered. In our March/April issue, Barbara Ryden returns to StarDate with the story of planetary identity, then and now. And learn about the hobby of meteorite collecting in “Running with Rockhounds.”
