The giants, Uranus and Neptune, are mostly huge balls of gas, and they make their home in the remotest reaches of the Solar System. The dwarf, Pluto, which can usually be found even farther out than the two giants, was always small, but up until a short while ago, it enjoyed the same status as the other planets, a full-fledged member of the Solar System. Today, Pluto has been re-classified as a "dwarf planet." In this clear and succinct overview of the current research on these remote Solar System objects, Richard Schmude, Jr., tells us what facts we do know about these faraway entities, what we are seeking to know, and also how to observe them for yourself, using commercially available telescopes. He also explains why Pluto was re-classified and what it means, exactly, to be a dwarf planet. Intrigued by these objects since boyhood, Schmude has compiled a loving tribute to them, if not making them warm and fuzzy, at least making them seem less remote and bringing them into our current frame of reference, giving them personality and revealing their worth in our understanding of the structure and nature of the Solar System in which we live. 410 0$aAstronomers' observing guides. 606 $aPlanetology 607 $aNeptune (Planet)$vObservers' manuals 607 $aPluto (Dwarf planet)$vObservers' manuals 607 $aUranus (Planet)$vObservers' manuals 615 0$aPlanetology. 676 $a523.47 700 $aSchmude$b Richard W.$f1958-$01567098 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777980903321 996 $aUranus, Neptune, and Pluto and how to observe them$93838207 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03654nam 2200709Ia 450 001 9910819972803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786613620347 010 $a9781118203194 010 $a1118203194 010 $a9781119199137 010 $a1119199131 010 $a9781280590511 010 $a1280590513 010 $a9781118203187 010 $a1118203186 035 $a(CKB)2670000000169485 035 $a(EBL)877203 035 $a(OCoLC)782879898 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000658978 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11449783 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000658978 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10690738 035 $a(PQKB)10043816 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC877203 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL877203 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10546526 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL362034 035 $a(Perlego)1014192 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000169485 100 $a20120417d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aSustainable investing for institutional investors $erisk, regulations and strategies /$fMirjam Staub-Bisang ; contributing authors Sven Bienert ...
