I still listen to 90’s techno

Top room Arkaba very early 90s.

Swing and a miss this one

Sure it is.
Elite progressiveness.

Good news,NASA is live streaming the eclipse.
Goes for 4 minutes,that includes the places where it will be cloudy and raining.

Eclipses are pretty trippy.

I recall doing trips to watch space event back in the day, like when a planet got really close or something. Bring the telescope, roll some numbers and head for the hills, good times

I rarely listen to dance anymore but when I do it’s from the 90s or early 2000s. I’m a metal head but i feel the hard house etc is kind of closely related, used to love that shit

Haley's Comet gave everything a bad name for a while, for a once in a lifetime event it was ridiculously underwhelming.

It seems like Australia never gets the afternoon eclipses.

I have two hardcore techno albums, a nightmare in Rotterdam vol 1 & 2, some really hard stuff in there

I thought it was pretty cool. Certainly never seen anything like it since. Wish I'd had a telescope at the time but it was cool that you didn't even need one.

Maybe you got a better look at it, I remember seeing the Hale-Bopp comet in the 90s and it was much better.

I didn't see that so maybe you're right.

I have very little to no memory of it

This wondrous thing that occurs - for many - once in a lifetime was underwhelming

I guess seeing vapour trails etc you get used to fuzzy trails so I can imagine the wonder from 2-400 years ago etc

But for me ehh

Was that by Hanson?

 

[Gralin]

i remember we did a school camp for it and were down the beach on a cold night to watch it

 

[Roobs321]

Leaving aside that at its closest approach it is still many Moons away, Halley’s eyeview of Earth’s change through time could be funny. 1985-86 and 2061 (touchwood) would both be wtf.

 

[Roobs321]

That must have been a crazy time for stargazers

1986
January 24th
closest approach of Voyager2 fly-by of Uranus

January 28th
Challenger disaster

February 9th
Halley’s Comet perihelion (albeit more visible from Earth or spacecraft in Oct-Nov ‘85 and Mar-Apr ‘86)

i recall vividly going to jells park to join the throng in waiting for halleys comet back when. it didnt appear.

There’s the devil comet around at the moment , will potentially be visible in the southern hemisphere early June I think. Later this year could be the greatest comet ever, only recently discovered but they are unsure what sort of show it could put on but it could be amazing.

I just got up one morning at 4am, went out the front and there it was.

That was the moon, dude.

 

[Beerfish]

That was the moon, dude.

It had a tail man. The moon only has a tail when I'm out the front on Friday nights.
