    Here is a real-time video of the Moon/Aldebaran occultation last night (March 4). Aldebaran disappears around the 38s mark. Shot on my Sony Handycam. Soundtrack is an original composition called "dark energy" from my upcoming space music album, THE FALSE DAWN, due out on the vernal equinox!



    Enjoy!

    That's pretty neat. One second it's there, and the next, poof, it's gone. Thanks for sharing the vid.

    Thanks, Ed. It's cool seeing the effects of our rotation and the moon's orbit, too.

    Wow! That's really cool, Reggie! It all fits together beautifully.

    I could feel my pulse responding to it's sense of preponderance impending. If this makes sense.....

    Thanks, Dave, and believe it or not, it does make sense. Shameless plug alert: my first space music album is on the horizon (so to speak) called THE FALSE DAWN, due out on the vernal equinox. Pre-order now!

    Nice 'shameless-plug' there, Reggie. Looking to buy those rusty old girders in that vacant-lot again? :pMsr. Eifel?

    But I might toss some cash at this at some point. Tapped out for now, though. Decided I should eat again this year... You know 'bout us 'starvin' artists' I'm sure.

    Tunnelling-To-Canada,

    Dave
