A 24-year-old observatory assistant from the Midwest discovered Pluto. Clyde Tombaugh, born in 1906 in Streator, Illinois, grew up fascinated with the solar system.

Read excerpt
A total solar eclipse casts a shadow on the world. During this perfect celestial alignment, the moon passes between Earth and the sun, completely covering the star’s face. For a few minutes, in the path of totality, daylight disappears. Animals begin to behave as they would at dusk: Crickets chirp and bees go back to their hives. People gather outside, experiencing the event together as they all look up. Samantha Thompson, astronomy curator at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, saw
