CLYDE TOMBAUGH
Clyde Tombaugh signs a photocopy of a typed manuscript titled "Out of
the Darkness - The Ninth Planet (Pluto) Discovered".
Manuscript signed: "Clyde W. Tombaugh", 1p, 8½x11. Photocopy
of a typed manuscript, signed in ink, titled "Out of the Darkness - The Ninth
Planet (Pluto) Discovered", by Clyde Tombaugh. Clyde W. Tombaugh (1906-1997)
was hired in 1929 as an assistant by the Lowell Observatory in New Mexico to
continue the search for a planet beyond Neptune, which had been initiated by
Percival Lowell. Tombaugh used a blink microscope to compare photographs of a
small part of the night sky and detect the planet. After ten months of
painstaking comparisons, on February 18, 1930 he found Pluto in the
constellation Gemini. Some of his ashes are carried on the New Horizons
spacecraft, which is traveling toward Pluto. Normal, minor flaws of an early
photocopy. Otherwise, fine condition.
