When Tyson showed the sky to Pluto the dog with a telescope, what did Pluto see? An asteroid shaped like a bone, of course. Tyson also visited the small town that the discoverer of Pluto, Clyde Tombaugh, was from. Tombaugh was basically a farm boy from Illinois who made telescopes from discarded equipment. He is deeply revered in his hometown, and now some of his ashes are aboard the New Horizons spacecraft, currently on its way to Pluto. Very cool. “The Pluto Files” show was a hoot.
