Hey, nowhere in that post , does it give credit to Clyde Tombough, who discovered it! I knew him as he was a member of the Las Cruses astronomical society. I sat next to him at one of the meetings and noticed his watch, a Walt Disney Pluto time piece. He was a kind and gentle man.

Clyde Tombough does certainly deserve credit for his discovery y and recognizing this object for what it really is. He should be spoken of in our discussion. of today.

I had the good fortune to hear Mr. Tombaugh speak in 1990—a memorable experience. He was very enthusiastic about astronomy.
