"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.

New Jersey Good Lighting Forum

The New Jersey Good Lighting Forum (NJGL) is a mailing list for citizens concerned about light pollution and good lighting.

Light pollution is wasted energy. It contributes to air pollution, its glare component is hazardous to drivers, it affects flora and fauna, its light trespass component is a public nuisance, it is a health hazard, it is aesthetically unpleasant and ruins the night sky!
