Saint Clair will detail the progress we have made, how we do it and what it means for Pluto.

The show is free to members of the Battle Point Astronomical Association; $2 donation suggested for nonmembers, $5 for families.

If the sky is clear, astronomers will be on hand with telescopes for public star-gazing afterward.

The Battle Point Astronomical Association is a nonprofit amateur astronomy organization that operates the Ritchie Observatory and John H. Rudolph Planetarium in the Helix House at Battle Point Park.
