Photo Quiz Answer

By tqa on March 18, 2008.

In Saturday's photo quiz, I posted a very cropped version of a picture, and asked people to identify the item that's in there. This was simultaneously one of the most and least successful photo quizzes I've posted so far. It was successful in the sense that it's attracted more comments than most of the previous photo quizzes have; it was unsuccessful in the sense that it seems to have been too easy.

Here's the full image (as always, you can click on it for a larger view):

Nathan was the first to post a comment, and the first to get the answer. This is the first stage of a Saturn V rocket. In fact, it is the one that Chas saw in Houston - when the rocket began to show signs of significant deterioration, an enclosure was built over it.

Congrats to all who got the right answer. I'll have a new photo quiz up on Thursday.

One of the drawbacks of having the sort of day job that I do is that it's hard to blog about interesting things in a timely manner. For example, Janet's post on improving communication between scientists and non-scientists is a week old, now. That's positively neolithic in blog terms. It's well…
