Just curious, is there a particular subset of quasars that are typically used in geodesy? Thanks, guys!

I've been writting my theories I have on how the moons are actually different planets and we are exploring more than one planet named Saturn.<br/><br/>Enjoyed one person's view of being there.

Enjoyed one person’s view of being there.

Did you discuss the use of quasars?

I think everybody who's seen it has it as the wallpaper on at least one of their gadgets (I have it on at least two :-) ) Love that Saturn Pic.
