Today (January 16, 1997) is Clyde Tombaugh Memorial Day, Who is discovered, Pluto.

Clyde William Tombaughugh was born on February 4, 1906, in Illinois, USA. After his family moved to Burrett, Kansas in 1922, Dombok's plans to attend college were frustrated when hail destroyed his family's farm crops. Beginning in 1926, he built many telescopes himself with lenses and glass. To better test his telescopic glass, Tombaughck dug a pit 24 feet long, 8 feet deep, and 7 feet wide, with a pick and shore. This provided a constant air temperature. No air currents and the root was used by the family as an underground and emergency shelter. He sent maps of Jupiter and Mars to the Lowell Lab in Block stop, Arizona. This gave him a job. Lombok served there from 1929 to 1945.

While working as a young researcher at the Lowell Observatory in Flaxtown, Arizona, Tombaugh was commissioned to perform the X-planet study predicted by Percival Lowell and William Pickering. He discovered the planet Pluto in 1930. Pluto, which had planetary status, later became an asteroid. He also discovered many asteroids. He called for scientific research on flying saucers. Pluto, the last planet in the Solar System, was deemed unqualified 10 years ago. Various planets orbit the sun along with the earth we live on. Mercury is the first planet to orbit the Sun in this order. 3rdly the earth we live on orbits the sun. Similarly, in 1930, a new planet was discovered next to Neptune, the 8th orbiting planet. It was discovered by the American astronomer Clyde Domba.

Following the release of this information, many people volunteered to name the new planet. Vanadia, an 11-year-old girl from England, suggested the Roman name of the Greek god of the underworld, ‘Pluto’, through her grandfather. That is how the 9th planet got the name 'Pluto'. There is a lot of interesting information about Pluto who was the shop boy of the solar system. 590 crore km from the Sun. Beyond is Pluto. The entire planet is made up of rocks and ice. The average temperature of Pluto is -230 degrees Celsius. Because there is less gravity than on Earth, the weight will be less. That means if your weight on Earth is 30 kg, Pluto will only be 2 kg. Pluto once orbited the Sun for 248 years. As with the impressions of Pluto, there was much controversy over its research. Some scientists have said that Pluto is not a planet. Unlike other planets in the solar system, Pluto's orbit was sometimes very far from the Sun and sometimes sideways.

They also discovered that Pluto's orbit intersects Neptune's orbit. As a result, Pluto, smaller than Earth's moon, lost its planetary status. On August 24, 2006, astronomers disqualified Pluto, the ninth planet in the Solar System, from being called the "Asteroid" or "Dwarf Planet". However, other dwarf planets in the solar system, including Pluto, have been declared plutoids and are being explored. Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of the planet Pluto, passed away on January 16, 1997, in Los Cruce, New Mexico, in his 90s. A small portion of his remains was placed on the New Horizons spacecraft. The container has the inscription.
