Peak Pluto in 2026

Don’t miss a truly rare celestial opportunity to see Pluto at its brightest and closest for the year!

Through our telescopes, you’ll be able to glimpse this distant dwarf planet, currently 3,211,620,000 miles (5.17 billion km) away, at a proximity it won’t reach again until January 2202. Despite its incredible distance, Pluto will appear as a tiny but brilliant point of light, offering a unique perspective on the outer reaches of our solar system.

Weather permitting. Clear skies are required for viewing.
