"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.

Caldwell 30

Caldwell 30 in Pegasus. Just above the right top corner star of the square (Scheat).

Pretty bright and straight overhead around 10 pm.  Shot last nigh between 8 & 10 pm. Tri-color filters through a Starlight express camera and 5" Tak refractor.

Galaxies galore
