Last night's eclipse

Posted By Maurice Clark

Hi All,

Since it has been very quiet here lately I thought I would hijack the forum by injecting a little... "astronomy"!! <gasp>

A few photos from last night's eclipse of the Moon. All photos taken using my 5" f/5 refractor and Canon 60D.

First one... the partially eclipsed Moon rising.

Iran war not going to end well....

Posted By Maurice Clark

The view from Australia... "Iran, not the US, currently has the strategic upper hand".

"If there ever was a strategy behind Donald Trump's decision to blow up the Middle East — and increasingly few believe there ever was — it is lying in tatters as the second week of the Iran war draws to a close.

It is Iran — not the US — setting the terms of a battle, which is now not a battle over military might but of economics and messing with people's heads.

The tide has turned is the message of most analysts this week.

And Iran has the advantage."

Executive Order: Banks Must Collect Citizenship Information!

Posted By Maurice Clark

As I understand it, an executive order it just an instruction to government agencies and not a law. So banks would not have to follow it.
