Mike is an astronomer and professor of planetary astronomy at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). His groundbreaking discoveries of dwarf planets like Eris, Haumea, and Makemake shook up the astronomy world and led to the controversial redefinition of what constitutes a planet.

Why was Pluto actually demoted? And is there a hidden Planet Nine lurking in the outer solar system?

As a treat for all my members, Mike has graced us with a lecture on Finding Planet Nine and his Journey to Redefine the Solar System. Don’t miss out!
