Perhaps due to the stress of facing world affairs during World War I, Lowell died of a stroke on November 12, 1916 at the age of 61. The Planet X that he predicted beyond Neptune was never found, but Pluto was discovered in 1930, followed by a string of similar small bodies (plutoids) on the far edges of the solar system.
yes
It was Lowell
Percival Lowell founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona which was the beginning of discovering the planet Pluto. His invention found canals on Mars and found that Venus had a central dark spot and an atmosphere that is opaque.
The search for Pluto was organized by the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Percival Lowell, the founder of the observatory, initiated the search in the early 20th century to find a ninth planet beyond Neptune based on the perceived gravitational influence on Uranus and Neptune. The search ultimately led to the discovery of Pluto by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930.
Percival Lowell described fictional Martian channels that he believed were evidence of intelligent life on Mars. He envisioned these channels as artificially straight and geometrically designed to transport water across the planet. However, subsequent observations by spacecraft have shown that these features are actually natural geological formations.
