Did you know-my observatory was in the perfect environment for space observation. Now environment is considered when planning observatories

[Percival Lowell @PercivalTheBro]

Many people were skeptical of my findings. It may have cost my reputation at the time, but I proved to be right when Pluto was discovered

[Percival Lowell @PercivalTheBro]

Did you know that the symbol for Pluto encompasses my initials? That's right; my work inspired scientists to search for the 9th planet!

[Percival Lowell @PercivalTheBro]

Thanks to me, people believe there could be life on Mars!

[Percival Lowell @PercivalTheBro]

Wait this isn't google

[Percival Lowell @PercivalTheBro]

Is it possible for there to be a ninth planet?

Being single like me means more time dedicated to science!
