Five years ago today on July 14, 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft made the first reconnaissance of Pluto, collecting data that continue to be analyzed and provide surprises of this distant world. On this 5th anniversary of the Pluto flyby, our guest is Dr. Carver Bierson, who is a planetary scientist at Arizona State University. Carver has been involved with the New Horizons mission, and recently published a paper about Pluto based on data from the mission. We talk with him about results in the paper titled: “Evidence for a Hot Start and Early Ocean Formation on Pluto”
