The Lonely Pharaoh.
At the end of a path not yet travelled, on a day not yet reached, a familiar man stands below an unfamiliar sky.

Render depicting what an exoplanet may look like. Probably taken from a NASA catalogue.

Though he is our child, we are not his parents, only those who ushered his voyage into the afterlife with coins to pay his passage. And yet, and yet here he stands once again in the shadow his father saw, and what he thinks of us we can only wonder.

Golden dedication puck.
"Intered herin are remains of American Clyde W. Tombaugh, Discoverer of Pluto and the Solar System's "Third Zone." 
Adelle and Muron's Boy, Patricia's Husband, Anette and Alden's Father. 
Astronomer, Teacher, Punster, and Friend. 
Clyde W. Tombaugh ( 1906 - 1997 )"
