'''Clyde Tombaugh''' (1906-1997) was an American astronomer who is best known for his discovery of [[Pluto]], which was recently downgraded from a planet to a dwarf planet.
Tombaugh had an interest in [[astronomy]] from a young age. He bought a Sears telescope, but before he was 20, he had built his own because he was unsatisfied with the quality of the Sears one. [http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/whos_who_level2/tombaugh.html]
In February 1930, Tombaugh discovered Pluto at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, [[Arizona]].
Tombaugh graduated from the [[University of Kansas]] and Northern Arizona University. [http://www.kshs.org/people/tombaugh_clyde.htm]
