[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] As to the question: Clyde William Tombaugh was following the work to find a large masive planet to account for the "wobble" in some of the outer planets orbits and was working at the Percival Lowell Observatory at that end when he discovered the small planet that would be known as Pluto. It's thought that Tombaugh named the planet after Lowell (that the PL stands for Percival Lowell whose career was somewhat in ruins in his later life after publically stating that mars was cris-rossed with "canals"). Good to see that astronomers can give props to their own. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
