Pluto Quotes
QUOTE
Christopher Crokett says, “On July 14, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will reach the dwarf planet and try to learn all it can about Pluto and its five known moons. Then the probe will leave Pluto behind, vanishing into the frigid darkness beyond the planets.”
David J Eicher says, “Nowhere is the future of Lowell Observatory better symbolized than with the observatory’s largest modern project, the Discovery Channel Telescope. This 4.3-meter instrument stands 40 miles (60km) southeast of Flagstaff at Happy Jack, Arizona, and has become the workhorse instrument for the observatory.”

“Flagstaff is where Pluto’s story began to be told. Near the center of town, on a mesa peppered with ponderosa pines, sits Lowell Observatory, where Clyde Tombaugh discovered the tiny world in 1930.” Christopher Crokett.

Christopher Crokett in “Pluto: Explored” points out that the planet Pluto was found in 1930. It was discovered in the Lowell Observatory by Clyde Tombaugh. The Observatory it located near the center of town.

“Pluto has always been an outlier, a diminutive ice-coated body on an orbit that carried it far above and well below the plane of the solar system.
It even has the audacity to cross another planet’s (Neptune’s) orbit.” Christopher Crokett.
My Paraphrase:
Christopher Crokett in “Pluto: Explored” points out that the Planet Pluto has no control nor gravity. The description of Pluto is the diminutive ice-coated body and outlier. It always far above and well below the plane of the solar system. Moreover, Pluto once cross another planet’s like (Neptune’s) orbit.
SUMMARY
David J Eicher in History and Future Meet at Lowell Observatory talk about his adventure and his experience in the Lowell Observatory. Eicher stays all night wander into the observatory’s headquarters to grab a catnap on a hallway couch. It was an adventure to Eicher and he traveled to Mars Hill. Also, Eicher talked about the 24-inch Clark refractor, which was built in 1896 for $20,000. Moreover, he talks about the future of Lowell Observatory better symbolize than with the observatory’s largest modern project, the Discovery Channel
Telescope.
Paul G Abel in Making Visual Lunar and Planetary Observations at the Lowell
Observatory. Abel talked about the observatory from inside and outside, he talked about the staff workers there. The main purpose of Abel article is that showing that it is entirely possible for any astronomer to get telescope time on a medium sized telescope. He says that in the observatory’s library there are modern astrophysics journals, old publications, and Lowell’s observing books. Abel is following the steps of Patrick and Richard Baum from the text The Planet Mars

“Lowell Observatory, astronomical observatory located in Flagstaff, Ariz.; it was founded in 1894 by Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who popularized the idea that Mars might support intelligent life. Its original telescope, still in operation, is a 24-in. (61-cm) refractor; also located at the Mars Hill site are the 13-in. (33-cm) A. Lawrence Lowell photographic camera used by Clyde Tombaugh when he discovered Pluto, and a 16-in. reflector used in the visitors' night viewing program.” Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia.

According to Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia in "Lowell Observatory" it that the Lowell Observatory located in Flagstaff, Arizona. “… it was founded in 1894 by Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who popularized the idea that Mars might support intelligent life.” The original telescope is still working and it is “located at the Mars Hill …” When “Clyde Tombaugh” discovered Pluto he was using Lawrence Lowell photographic camera. Also, in the Lowell Observatory there is a night viewing program for the visitors'.

“The telescope got underway in 2003 when John Hendricks, former CEO of Discovery Communications, made a $16 million gift to Lowell Observatory. The company secured the telescope’s name and the first right of refusal to use images made with the telescope for their television networks. The Discovery Channel Telescope is a powerhouse instrument in American science. Astronomers declared the instrument fully operational on the first day of 2015, ending a commissioning period that lasted 2½ years. The vast array of science projects that will be possible with this telescope will dazzle readers of this magazine for years to come.” David J Eicher.
