Talk:Clyde Tombaugh

message: The caption under the photo of Tombaugh is not at Lowell.  It's likely his home in Kansas. The telescope pictured is the first successful one he made and it helped get him the job at Lowell.

message: The latest edit has changed "...discovered Pluto..." to "discovered the dwarf planet Pluto..."
While it's true that Pluto has been demoted, it could be understood as meaning it was always considered a dwarf planet. I think it's cleaner to just say "discovered Pluto." Let the Pluto article deal with its travails from 'unidentified thing' to 'planet' to 'dwarf planet.' Boxjam 00:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Biography 

message: in the section Interest in UFOs, it states "In 1949, Tombaugh had also told the Naval missile director at White Sands Missile Range, Commander Robert McLaughlin, that he had seen a bright flash on Mars in August 1941, which he now attributed to an atomic blast." From the tone of the paragraph, it apparently says that Tombaugh dismisses the flash on Mars as a reflection of an atomic blast. This would be difficult as the first terrestrial atomic detonation didn't occur until 1944. BruceWiley (talk) 16:04, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It is confusing.  It is not clear to me whether he thought the atomic blast was on Earth or on Mars.  It so happens that a few days ago I ordered the biography of Tombaugh, and I'll see if that clears it up.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 17:02, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

text: Well, I got his biography and there is no mention that I can find of this, nor UFOs, nor green fireballs.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:57, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing dates and tone of paragraph 

message: In the paragraph on Tombaugh's death, I removed the "sic" from the transcription of the message on the canister of his ashes attached to the New Horizons space probe. The canister states "Interned herein are the remains..."https://i.imgur.com/8qti01u.jpg This is, in fact, the word that was intended; not "interred." From the Latin terra,"interred" means to be buried in the Earth.http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/interred?s=t This makes no sense in the context of space. "Interned," on the other hand, can mean "to confine,"http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/interned as in an internment camp. The usage on the probe is correct; "sic" is unnecessary.
