Thanks so much TomK. Thanks for the correction...dwarf planet. We really enjoyed both links. Truly amazing seeing Pluto's images and reading the bio of Clyde Tombaugh.
I agree, Clyde at first would've been disappointed but as an astronomer and scientist would've understood the reclassification. That's what science is all about...always changing w/new discoveries by others. But he passed away thinking Pluto is the 9th planet.
Very cool that his ashes are traveling in space and so fitting.
