    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8739rrez23o Sky-watchers across much of the UK can look forward to a stunning spectacle this evening when a total lunar eclipse will turn the full Moon red. As it passes through Earth's shadow, it will take on a deep red hue, creating a striking "Blood Moon". While the full eclipse starts at 18:30 and lasts until 19:52, people in the UK will only be able to see it after the Moon rises, and that depends on where you are. Easternmost parts get the longest view, with moonrise in Norwich at 19:25 for example, while westernmost Wales and Cornwall only get a minute or two. Northern Ireland and western Scotland won't …

    Interesting..... I did note the long wait to get to the gate after landing when I flew into there recently (From Disney) but didn't think much of it. I was too interested in the planes landing one after the other behind us like a busy conveyer line. When simming, I do kind of dislike waiting to cross runways there as fshud tends to allow everyone and their dog to take off before granting permission, and also, Drzewiecki Designs KEWR is about as heavy on ones graphics card as anything in the sim, but I still like it, maybe because I use the place in real life. Anyway, the video gives lots of information I never considered before about the complicated ballet at th…

    Hello, I was thinking it would be nice to invest in a good headset for MSFS, so I can have great sound quality but also something that feels similar to what a real pilot might wear, like Bose or similar. Is there any pair you would reccomend that will work with my PC? I currently use a cheap pair of earbuds and want something better but also feels like good quality. Thanks

    I typed in a search "Kenny Veach" and to my surprise there were at least 250 YT videos on the disappearance of Kenny Beach on a hike in Nevada. I got tired of scrolling through them and counting. There were more. Apparently if you cut and paste some info from others, and can speak well, you can get thousands of views on monetized YT videos. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kenny+veach&sp=EgIYAg%3D%3D A short three minute one (I bet there over 300 videos on this story altogether, some are over an hour long, one was over four hours long).
