NOVA: Pluto and beyond

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/pluto-and-beyond/

Only shows a few pix of Ultima Thule, but gives an interesting history of the whole endeavor. Very interesting, even if they did make it sound like a couple of astronomers discovered the Kuiper Belt a decade or so ago; no mention of Gerard Kuiper, the Oort Cloud, etc. Dumbed down for public consumption a little, but not too egregiously so.

Check TitanTV.com or you local PBS station to find air dates in your area.

I haven't watched an episode of Nova in about 20 years, but damn! That was a good one.
