I guess you could call it an eclipse, but I’d prefer to call it an occultation .

FWIW, that video was posted here a couple of days ago in Chat. But I agree that it does deserve its own thread.

For crying out loud.

We are going to have to put up with “For the first time on Mars”

For as long as we have cricket…

“That was the most runs ever scored in a test match… in the second innings by the 8th partnership of two fine English men, at Trent Bridge against the Aussies, on a sunny day with light showers on a Wednesday after tea.”
