Today we have a fantastic auction featuring two books signed by the late famed astronomer and discoverer of Pluto, Clyde Tombaugh (1907-1997).
In addition to Tombaugh's signature on both books, each is also signed by David Levy, co-discoverer of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which crashed into Jupiter in 1994. The signature of Dr. James W Christy, who forwards the book "Out of the Darkness: The Planet Pluto" is also included on that respective book.
In addition to Tombaugh's signature on "Out of the Darkness", Tombaugh's hand notations are found on a few pages (see photographs).
The biography, "Clyde Tombaugh: Discoverer of Planet Pluto" is signed by both author David Levy and Tombaugh himself.
Both books were signed for famed Griffith Observatory telescope operator Robert Spellman in 1990/91.
Both books are on the auction block. Click the links below for the auction pages.
