The solar system most of us grew up with included nine planets, with Mercury closest to the sun and Pluto at the outer edge. Then, in 2005, astronomer Mike Brown made the discovery of a lifetime: a tenth planet, Eris, slightly bigger than Pluto. But instead of its resulting in one more planet being added to our solar system, Brown’s find ignited a firestorm of controversy that riled the usually sedate world of astronomy and launched him into the public eye.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you feel sorry for Pluto, is will explain why you shouldn't. If you grew up with Pluto, this will explain how it got away - for decades - being classified as a planet. The author writes at the average-astronomy-hobbiest level, which makes it an easy listen. I first thought there were too many family stories, but the stories do give the reader a good time line of events - rather than a just a list of dates. In the end, those readers still feeling sorry for Pluto's demotion can rejoice in the fact that it's title may have changed but it's place in our universe hasn't.
Would you be willing to try another book from Mike Brown? Why or why not?
Yes. If Ryan Gesell narrates I know it will be a good/ easy listen.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No
