Win! Naming Pluto DVD

 

To celebrate the life of Venetia Phair, who sadly passed away last month, we have a copy of the DVD Naming Pluto, produced by Father Films, up for grabs. Naming Pluto chronicles the story of how Venetia came to name Pluto, and how she first came to see the planet through a telescope. Featuring interviews with Venetia, Sir Patrick Moore and Dr Allan Chapman, Naming Pluto is a wonderful viewing experience. Read our review of the DVD here. To stand a chance of winning a copy, plus a Naming Pluto poster, answer this simple question:

 

Who discovered Pluto in 1930?

We’ll announce the winner on astronomynow.com. Good luck!
