An Odd Fact From The Pluto Mission by RobinHez(m): 10:06am On Jul 17, 2015 |
The mission is carrying the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930. Before dying in 1997, he requested that his ashes be sent to space. Nasa obliged, affixing a small container with his remains to the inside upper deck of the probe. It bears the inscription: “Interred herein are remains of American Clyde W. Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto and the solar system’s ‘third zone’, Adelle and Muron’s boy, Patricia’s husband, Annette and Alden’s father, astronomer, teacher, punster, and friend: Clyde W. Tombaugh (1906-1997).”http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jul/15/ten-facts-new-horizon-mission-pluto 1 Like 1 Share |
