Today is . 🌘 🌎 🔭

On this day in 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) reclassified Pluto from a major planet to a dwarf planet. According to the IAU classification, a planet is defined as an object that orbits the sun, is round, and is able to clear its orbital path of space debris like rocks and ice. While Pluto is round and orbits the sun, it was demoted because it is too small to clear its own path of space debris. 🪐 🛰️ 📡

Sitting just beyond Neptune, Pluto is a small, icy dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt. Until its demotion, Pluto was the furthest planet from the sun.

Have you seen our Mercury Capsule? 🚀 🔭 🪐

Suspended from the ceiling of our Central Pavilion, the Mercury Capsule was a late-stage stage prototype, developed as part of NASA’s very first U.S. spacecraft. 🌓 📡 🌌

Our capsule flew once, in May 1960, on a mission that tested the escape tower. On this test flight, it was rocketed more than 2,500 feet into the air and floated back down to the ocean with a parachute. This unmanned test demonstrated that astronauts could survive the return to earth inside this capsule. ⭐ 🛰️
