"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools."
--1921 New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work.

"Correction: It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The 'Times' regrets the error."
NY Times, July 1969.

Spiral Galaxy PGC 37700 is 16th magnitude located in the image about 1/2 the distance to the edge above  M109, near a dim star.  See any others?   Possibly one more?  How about just to the left of M109?
