"I'm not heartbroken. I'm just shook up," said 93-year-old Patricia Tombaugh, wife of Clyde Tombaugh who discovered Pluto back in 1930.

In a phone interview from her home in Las Cruces, the old woman was asked regarding her sentiments about Pluto losing its planetary status. She said that she is frustrated regarding the decision, but says that her husband would have understood. Awwww...

Clyde Tombaugh was 24 when he discovered Pluto while working at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona where he spent months examining images of the sky. He was the only person in the Western Hemisphere to have discovered a planet in our solar system, until the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of its planetary status.

Tombaugh, who died in 1997, had reportedly fought off previous attempts to demote Pluto from being a classical planet to a "dwarf" one, but his wife said that this time, Clyde would have probably agreed with the decision because other planetary objects are now seen in the Kuiper Belt, the belt of comets near the edge of the solar system where Pluto resides.

"He was a scientist. He would understand they had a real problem when they start finding several of these things flying around the place," Patricia Tombaugh said. Awww, very true Mrs.Tombaugh, there are a lot things flying around nowadays. And we're all shook up just like you.
