Pole Position is a racing arcade video game released by Namco in 1982. It was licensed to Atari, Inc. for US manufacture and distribution. Pole Position is considered one of the most important titles from the golden age of arcade video games. It was an evolution of Namco’s earlier arcade racing electro-mechanical games, notably F-1 (1976), whose designer Sho Osugi worked on Pole Position.
- Messier 68 (Wikipedia)
Messier 68 (also known as M68 or NGC 4590) is a globular cluster found in the east south-east of Hydra, away from its precisely equatorial part. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1780. William Herschel described it as “a beautiful cluster of stars, extremely rich, and so compressed that most of the stars are blended together”. His son John noted that it was “all clearly resolved into stars of 12th magnitude, very loose and ragged at the borders”.
