UofT Planetarium: The Forgotten Solar System

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm Often, when one thinks of the solar system, only the planets and the Sun come to mind. But what about all the other stuff? There are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt, tens of millions of objects in the Kuiper belt, and probably trillions of objects in the Oort cloud, not to mention the hundreds of Moons and dozens of dwarf planets scattered throughout the solar system. In this show, we will explore the underdogs of the solar system: the asteroids, comets, moons, and dwarf planets who don’t get nearly enough respect!
