There are so many people like him, "only Clyde,"who have contributed so much to man's understanding of the world and universe.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801967071649685995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-69875136504109493162011-08-19T20:58:46.761-07:002011-08-19T20:58:46.761-07:00What a story.

Maybe it fits, it seems so to me:<br /><br />Home Bound<br /><br />The moon is a wavering rim where one fish slips,<br />The water makes a quietness of sound; <br />Night is an anchoring of many ships<br />Home-bound.<br /><br />There are strange tunnelers in the dark, and whirs <br />Of wings that die, and hairy spiders spin <br />The silence into nets, and tenanters<br />Move softly in.<br /><br />I step on shadows riding through the grass,<br />And feel the night lean cool against my face; <br />And challenged by the sentinel of space, <br />I pass."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-52859220918748652842011-08-19T14:14:11.369-07:002011-08-19T14:14:11.369-07:00Nice story.

Some in the science community are holding off on calling Pluto a dwarf from a recent lecture I went to....so he may be right about his planet label after all. I can't wait to see what's out there past Pluto! Thank you for sharing that story.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-86866323379221586692011-08-19T11:20:55.755-07:002011-08-19T11:20:55.755-07:00So nicely told!

I remember reading a book about Lowell years ago and how he discovered the skies above Flagstaff as one of the perfect places on earth to view the planet Mars. I believe he actually carried his telescope on a wagon behind a team of mules into Mexico on occasion. I think he would have been proud of Clyde.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924547158802290714noreply@blogger.com
