Recently, some discussion has arisen within the ranks of astrogeekdom about whether Pluto really is smaller than Eris. This Summer, American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh will go where no one has gone before to see for himself. Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930. He died in 1997. One ounce of Clyde Tombaugh's ashes are being carried onboard the New Horizons spacecraft, well on its way to Pluto. Godspeed, Dr. Tombaugh.

I still think of Pluto as a planet, albeit a wee one.
