What’s so special about the other two gas giant planets Uranus and Neptune? What makes them blue? Why is Uranus tipped on its side? They both have a bunch of moons - and rings too!

From 2001: A Space Odyssey to Interstellar, a popular trope in science fiction is the depiction of spaceships and space stations that use rotation to generate artificial gravity for its inhabitants. Is this technology really possible? What would it take to design such a habitat? Explore fictitious forces, a subtle concept in physics with surprising relevance to daily life on earth.

Learn about some of the cutting-edge simulations that revealed new insight into Pluto and Charon's initial collisions, as well as how that impact may have big implications for the system's geological evolution, including how we get to the surfaces that were imaged by New Horizons in 2015.
