Mars will be visible and won’t be this close again till 2035.

Got a good view of both this morning over two hours. Mars is doing a close fly-by while the moon has swung way out on its orbit looking so far away. Longest lunar eclipse I've seen (or ever will again).

Great stuff that still speaks strongly today, (folk shouldn't listen to it if they suffer clinical depression or are off their meds) ;)

I remember way back, sitting in a darkened room in the middle of four very hi quality speakers drinking bourbon with me mates.. 8)

If you’d been listening to it with headphones watching that eclipse, you quite possibly might have burst into flames. ðŸ"¥
