If in a single lifetime we are able to break free of the shackles of Earth’s gravity, discover a distant world, and send the ashes of that distant world’s discoverer zipping past it, just imagine what wonders await us. Whenever you begin to doubt humanity’s capabilities, I ask you to Consider Pluto.
In celebration of the 90th anniversary of the discovery of Pluto, the Lowell Observatory is hosting an I Heart Pluto Festival including an art show at the observatory. Consider Pluto is one of fifteen Pluto themed works of art from the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA).
