If quasars are active galactic nuclei, then I would expect that they would be spread randomly throughout the universe. Why are quasars instead observed at far distances? pst.cr/RV174

Today in 1981, astronauts John Young and Bob Crippen launched on the inaugural flight of the Space Shuttle program, STS-1. Dressed in white, Columbia lifted off from Launch Complex 39A, the same pad that sent John Young to the Moon on Apollo 16 nine years earlier.

The Apennine mountains located in Mare Imbrium on the northern part of the moon is one of my favourite areas to view and image. Eratosthenes crater to the left of the range, Plato above with Aristillus to it's top right and Autolycus underneath. Seeing wasn't perfect that night
