Clyde William Tombaugh (February 4, 1906 – January 17, 1997) was an American astronomer. He discovered the ninth planet Pluto in 1930, the first object to be discovered in what would later be identified as the Kuiper belt.

Tombaugh also discovered many asteroids, and called for the serious scientific research of unidentified flying objects.
