    Feb 18, 1930, Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto. The little ice-ball is so far away, it has barely finished 1/3 of its 248-year orbit around the Sun

        LaVondia - we can all thank @AlanStern & his amazing @NewHorizons2015 team for "rediscovering" the excitement, mystery & wonder that is #Pluto I'm proud that Dr. Stern is a #Marksman from the school where I teach ;)

        1/x Appreciation is like a fine wine - it grows deeper with age - Having been at #StMarks for 28 years, I enjoy seeing how that appreciation grows and I love doing my best to instill the basis of that for my current #Marksmen. Thanks to scientists like you and @LeeRberger

        1/x Long story short - Lee and I became FB friends pre 2012 - I asked him to "consult" with my students about the discovery of A. sediba & he not only agreed, but wound up visiting campus that November on a book tour - I've visited his lab 2x and blogged

        Nice. We became friends at the Time100 dinner in 2016. He’s great. Had no idea he was connected to SM.

        I recall the pics of the two of you at the Time dinner -- #NewHorizons was the #1 science story of 2015 & #Homonaledi was #2 (according to Dscover mag) - The students were over the Moon (or Pluto - lol) to be connected to two such stunning achievements.

        That was back in Pluto's glory days, before "someone'' kicked it to the planet curb.
