He liked to look at things

February 18, 1930
Clyde Tombaugh liked to look at French Postcards. He like to look into his neighbors’ windows. When he got tired of that, he started studying photos of the night sky where astronomers predicted a “Planet X” would show up.

Tombaugh ended up discovering the dwarf planet Pluto on this date. He also discovered more than 800 asteroids during his search for “Planet X.”

Our Alien Overlords were very wily, avoiding Clyde.

And so it goes
