	Clyde Tombaugh - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		Tombaugh's discovery involved painstaking use of a blink comparator — a device which allows someone to compare two similar photographs by placing them in the viewer's field of vision, and then letting the user switch back and forth — blink — between the two.
		Tombaugh was also later to report having seen three of the mysterious Green Fireballs, which suddenly appeared over New Mexico in late 1948 and continued at least through the early 1950s.
		Tombaugh also noted that the first atomic bomb tested in New Mexico would have lit up the dark side of the Earth like a neon sign and that Mars was coincidentally quite close at the time, the implication apparently being that the atomic test would have been visible from Mars.

	"Future Shoes" by Michael Finley
		Patricia Tombaugh, Clyde's wife for 53 years, got used early on to having a husband whose thoughts were more often on the goings-on in the next galaxy than next door.
		It was announced at that time, too, that a planetoid object until then known only as Minor Planet 1604 (1931 FH), one of dozens of asteroids discovered by Tombaugh during his sojourns among he stars, had been named and registered as "Tombaugh" in his honor.
		Tombaugh's comment was that at last he had a piece of real estate no one could touch.

		Clyde William Tombaugh (February 4, 1906 – January 17, 1997) was an American astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Pluto in 1930.
		Tombaugh was taking pains in using a blink comparator to compare photographs of sections of sky taken several nights apart.
		Tombaugh noticed such a moving object in his search, and subsequent observations showed it to be the object we call Pluto.

		The discovery of the 1572 and 1604 supernovas, shattered a cornerstone of Ptolemaic thinking: that the sphere containing the stars was unchanging.
		Although Brahe's theory of planetary motion was flawed, the data he accumulated during his life played a crucial role in developing the correct description of planetary motion.
		During his planet search, at the Lowell Observatory, Tombaugh photographed 65 percent of the sky and spent 7,000 hours examining about 90 million star images.

		Kowal exemplifies the zeal of amateurs-turned-professional, such as Clyde Tombaugh … even to the point of using the same time-honored technique that was used to discover Pluto.
		At the time, none had been observed in the Milky Way Galaxy since 1604, but the sharp-eyed Kowal soon found 77 supernovas in distant galaxies.
		He also participated in an international search for "lost" comets that had shifted their courses.

	WOW Report: Keeping It Plutonic
		WOW Report » Archives » Keeping It Plutonic
		Of course the real loser in this sudden, unceremonious, and – let's say it – RUDE voting-off of Pluto from the solar system is Clyde Tombaugh, the American astronomer who discovered the would-be planet in February of 1930, and now whose claim to fame has been posthumously snatched from him (he died in 1997).
		Sure, the asteroid 1604 Tombaugh is named for him but in these days when almost anybody can name a star, that's paltry and will not be covered in the test.
