The Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series
Wednesday, January 25th, 2006, 7 pm:

The Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series presents a Second Century Lecture
co-sponsored by the American Astronomical Society:

Astronomer Michael Brown of Caltech will give a non-technical, illustrated talk on:

Beyond Pluto: The Discovery of the "10th Planet"

in the Smithwick Theater, Foothill College, El Monte Road and Freeway 280,
in Los Altos Hills, California.

Free and open to the public.
Parking on campus costs $2.

Call the series hot-line at 650-949-7888 for
more information and driving directions.

In this rare Northern California appearance, Dr. Brown will discuss how he and his coworkers recently found an object larger than the planet Pluto and with an orbit at least twice as large. He will fill us in on the latest thoughts about whether this new object
(and Pluto) are planets or not. And he will explain how astronomers are continuing to find larger (and smaller) bodies in the outskirts of our solar system.

No background in science will be required for this talk.

Dr. Brown, Professor of Planetary Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology, is
co-discoverer of what some people are calling the "tenth planet" and also of the intriguing objects Quaoar, Orcus, and Sedna. He received his PhD from the University of California, at Berkeley in 1994. He specializes in the discovery and analysis of the faintest and most distant parts of our solar system and says he spends most of his time "wondering where
even bigger planets are hiding."
