Clyde W. Tombaugh Memorial Window
This large stained glass window, situated on the east side of the church, is dedicated to the memory of Clyde W. Tombaugh. It’s position allows New Mexico's beautiful sun to bring the window and the community to life each day. Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered the planet Pluto at Lowell Observatory in 1930, was a dedicated astronomer, a space pioneer and an educator who inspired generations to investigate the cosmos. Clyde and his wife, Patsy, were among the founders of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Las Cruces in 1955. Clyde remained a dedicated patron of the church throughout his life. Las Crucens can view highlights of the life of one of the city's most famous citizens when they cruise down Solano Drive.
