Tombaugh was using the best technology he had, a telescope at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Tombaugh当时使用的是他拥有的最好工具——亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫的洛厄尔天文台的望远镜。

Tombaugh went on to build his own telescopes that took the human eye further into the cosmos.

汤博开始制作自己的望远镜，进一步观察宇宙。

When astronomer Clyde Tombaugh first saw Pluto on February 18th, 1930 he only saw a pinpoint of light.

当天文学家Clyde Tombaugh在1930年2月18日首次发现冥王星时，他只看到了一个光点。

Those sharp mountains and Tombaugh Regio's crater-free surface means that these features are pretty young, at least in planetary terms.

那些陡峭的山脉和汤博区没有陨石坑的表面意味着这些特征还很年轻，至少从行星的角度来看是这样。

That year, an observatory official, V. M. Slipher, offered a young man a job working with the new telescope. The young man's name was Clyde Tombaugh.

那年，一位天文台的官员V·M·斯莱弗为一名年轻人提供了一个使用这台新的望远镜的工作。这名年轻人的名字叫做克莱德·汤博。

In 1930, from the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona, Tombaugh spotted the celestial body we know as Pluto. The discovery made headlines in Streator.

1930年，汤博使用亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫的洛厄尔天文台发现了冥王星，这一发现成了斯特里特的头条新闻。

In 1929, young astronomer Clyde Tombaugh arrived at Lowell's observatory and was assigned to search through photographs of the night sky to find anything that was shifting position.

1929年，克莱德·汤博来到罗威尔天文台，受命从夜空的照片中找到在变换位置的东西。
