Some scientists even believed it was made out of ice. This discovery took this scientist a long time but he found out what it was, Pluto. Today Pluto is no longer a planet. All of Cloyed Tombaugh’s work went to waste.

The Empire State Building was finished in 1931. The Empire State Building is in central Manhattan, New York City on Fifth Ave between 33d St. and 34 St. It was designed by the firm of Shreve, Lamb, and Harmon and was started in 1930. For years it was the tallest building on earth with 102 stories. Many people referred to it as the Empty State Building because almost nobody rented the floors on it. Today the Empire State Building is a legend. It is now not the tallest but still stands tall in New York City. The Empire State Building is composed of more than 200,000cubic feet of India limestone and granite.
