Early in the 20th century Lowell made an elaborate mathematical study of the orbit of Uranus. He attributed certain irregularities to the action of an unseen planet beyond Neptune and calculated its probable position. In 1905 he organized a systematic search for the planet by the staff of his observatory, and in 1915 he published his “Memoir on a Trans-Neptunian Planet.” Fourteen years after his death the search culminated in the discovery of pluto.
Percival Lowell was an astronomer, author and mathematician who founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona.
The naming and symbol for Pluto, which was discovered at his observatory, is in part derived from Lowell's initials.
