There's of those lunar eclipse things tonight, isn't there?

Won't be able to see it completely from where I am but I think I read Cornwall should be good for a sighting.

amazing - 500 light years from earth, orbiting close to a class M dwarf star, and I bet none of the inhabitants know who these "neutrals" are who want them to win the league either.

Look, I'm not arguing with you, but there's loads of aliens on the other side of the moon and they've been watching us for thousands of years. Some of them are good and some are deffinately not good. I'm not joking, you couldn't make it up.
