Subject: New Horizons Pluto Event

Hello,

The New Horizons Spacecraft will be flying by Pluto July 14th.  The Planetary Society and the Spark Museum have teamed up to host an event that will celebrate this incredible endeavor by NASA.  We will have a panel of experts and hope for a confirmation from the space craft that it survived its trip to Pluto at 6:02pm.

Pluto Revealed, runs from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Tuesday, July 14th, and features a live taping of the podcast and KMRE 102.3 radio show, Spark Science<http://sparkscience.podbean.com/>. The show will feature special guests Dr. Melissa Rice, a planetary scientist from Western Washington University, and Casey Dreier, Advocacy Director for The Planetary Society, the world's largest nonprofit space organization.

If you could send out this information to your contacts or post it on social media, we would be extremely grateful.

Here is the press release on the Planetary Society page, if you would like to link to the information

Thank you,
