A gem submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 25, 2023, 6:43am NdGT is a wonderful story teller. This short volume on the history of Pluto was a delightful find, encompassing both the science and our cultural engagement with the cold little rocky body floating out there in our solar system. Short, sweet, full of science, song, and stories, this was a gem.
