- Donkey Kong (1981 video game) (Wikipedia)
Donkey Kong is a 1981 arcade video game developed and published by Nintendo. As Mario (also sometimes known at the time as “Jumpman”), the player runs and jumps on platforms and climbs ladders to ascend a construction site and rescue Pauline from a giant gorilla, Donkey Kong. It is the first game in the Donkey Kong series and Mario’s first appearance in a video game.

MARFIK (Lambda Ophiuchi). Double stars are among the prettiest sights the sky has to offer. The best ones, like Albireo and many others, display striking color contrasts that are enhanced by visual proximity effects. But even the white “colorless” ones are attractive, especially if the two members are close together. Those of Marfik (the “elbow” of Ophiuchus), or Lambda Ophiuchi, are so close that they are, however, difficult to separate at the telescope, averaging just a second of arc – a 3600th of a degree – apart.
