Mysterious Objects Are As Tall As Skyscrapers On Pluto – Scientists Finally Found Out Why
A Dream Fulfilled
Unfortunately, it would be years after his death before research resumed on finding the mysterious planet. This was mostly due to Lowell’s widow being involved in a dispute with the observatory’s new management.

The only problem was it still needed a name.
