Christopher Crokett says, “On July 14, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will reach the dwarf planet and try to learn all it can about Pluto and its five known moons. Then the probe will leave Pluto behind, vanishing into the frigid darkness beyond the planets.”
David J Eicher says, “Nowhere is the future of Lowell Observatory better symbolized than with the observatory’s largest modern project, the Discovery Channel Telescope. This 4.3-meter instrument stands 40 miles (60km) southeast of Flagstaff at Happy Jack, Arizona, and has become the workhorse instrument for the observatory.”
PARAPHRASE
Original Material:
“Flagstaff is where Pluto’s story began to be told. Near the center of town, on a mesa peppered with ponderosa pines, sits Lowell Observatory, where Clyde Tombaugh discovered the tiny world in 1930.” Christopher Crokett.

It even has the audacity to cross another planet’s (Neptune’s) orbit.” Christopher Crokett.
My Paraphrase:
Christopher Crokett in “Pluto: Explored” points out that the Planet Pluto has no control nor gravity. The description of Pluto is the diminutive ice-coated body and outlier. It always far above and well below the plane of the solar system. Moreover, Pluto once cross another planet’s like (Neptune’s) orbit.
SUMMARY
David J Eicher in History and Future Meet at Lowell Observatory talk about his adventure and his experience in the Lowell Observatory. Eicher stays all night wander into the observatory’s headquarters to grab a catnap on a hallway couch. It was an adventure to Eicher and he traveled to Mars Hill. Also, Eicher talked about the 24-inch Clark refractor, which was built in 1896 for $20,000. Moreover, he talks about the future of Lowell Observatory better symbolize than with the observatory’s largest modern project, the Discovery Channel
