For the first time in nearly two decades, here is the story of this distant planet of the solar system and its moon Despite our growing understanding of Pluto and its moon Charon, there have not been any books written on them since 1981, when Clyde Tombaugh's book was published in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Pluto's discovery. Now well-known astronomer Alan Stern presents the first popular account of what we have learned about Pluto and Charon since 1980. It starts with the discovery of Pluto in 1930 and culminates with observations obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1996. S. Alan Stern (Louisville, CO) works at Southwest Research Institute. Jacqueline Mitton (Cambridge, England) is a Public Relations Officer at the Royal Astronomical Society.
