91 years ago today, future NMSU professor Clyde Tombaugh took the first picture confirming his discovery of the 9th planet in our solar system at the observatory established by Percival Lowell, after whom PLuto is named. These photos were snapped on 1-23-1930 & 1-29-1930. Though it's since been 'demoted' as a minor planet, it will forever be a major planet everytime it passes over New Mexico. #PercivalLowell #nmfirst #newmexicofirst #plutofirst #plutoisamajorplanet
