The discovery of Pluto is attributed to a janitor.
He worked with frugality, alone in the cold with an observatory’s telescope at night in the winter.
At this, he surpassed his superiors.
His distinction helped eluded blame for his illicit use of the telescope.
He wrote a cursory paper explanatory of Pluto’s orbit.
This proliferated, making him an epitome of an astronomer in the public’s imagination.

Pluto’s revelation is credited to a custodian. He practiced thrift, working solo in winter nights with the observatory telescope. Thus, he outshone his betters. His uniqueness spared him reproach for unauthorized use of the instrument. He drafted a brief, clarifying report on Pluto’s path. It spread rapidly, making him a model astronomer in popular thought.
