#Remembering Clyde Tombaugh on his birthday. Born #OTD in 1906, Tombaugh was an American astronomer best known for his discovery of the dwarf planet Pluto. His discoveries ushered in a new era of space exploration in & beyond the Kuiper Belt.
Happy birthday to a brilliant mind!

The lighter penguin is an elderly female whose partner died this year. The darker one is a younger male who lost his partner two years ago. Biologists have followed them as they meet every night to comfort each other. They stand for hours together watching the lights in Melbourne
