Happy Birthday, Carl Sagan, born this day in 1934. He's the reason I became an astronomer. #CarlSagan
Today is National Pluto Demoted Day, which recalls the day in 2006 when the International Astronomical Union took away Pluto’s planet status. But #Pluto will always remain a planet here at #Flagstaff’s Lowell Observatory, where it was discovered! #NationalPlutoDemotedDay
