Get it? Check it out, libraries...

Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and all around cool guy has a new book out.

The Pluto Files (released Jan. 2009) chronicles the rise and fall of Pluto, America's favorite (ex-) Planet. Included in this book are angry letters Dr. Tyson received from school children (following Pluto's demotion), cartoons, explanations and plenty of pictures.

The best part is, you don't have to be a physics grad-student to read and understand this material. The Pluto Files is written in a fun and entertaining language.

You'll learn such amazing things as how Pluto got it's name (and any connection it has to a famous dog), how planets are found, what else is in our solar system, and what exactly a planet is.

Tyson is the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History.


The library system has 6 copies. You can have this book right after I'm done reading it.
