OK, here's a Switch remaster that might be needed:
Lunar 1 & 2!

I love these games so goddamned much. But Lunar 1 in particular has problems, inventory is impossible in it. They absolutely need to be played in order so you can feel *all the things* when you see how it is 1000 years later.

A Total #Lunar #Eclipse Video

Tonight's supermoon will appear larger and slightly brighter than usual before fading to red during a total lunar eclipse. This phenomenon, also called a Wolf Moon, occurs when the fully lit Moon enters Earth's shadow, casting a dim red hue due to atmospheric scattering. Best viewed from the Americas post-sunset.

apod.nasa.govAPOD: 2019 January 20 - A Total Lunar Eclipse VideoA different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.
Did you know that the Moon has a tail made of sodium atoms? It's not visible to the naked eye, but during the New Moon and under the right conditions, some astronomical instruments can detect a faint tail stretching thousands of kilometers into space.

Our Moon

We call it the Moon, it is of course, just A moon, it's simply because we only have the one that we call it THE Moon. I've been taking advantage of this latest spate of clear evenings to get a few shots each day / evening / night, depending on circumstance, light etc. I popped out last night, the 7th, because I'd been looking at it all day, the night was clear and the Moon looked really clear too. #photography #nightsky #Moon #Lunar

Moonquakes Surprisingly Common

Apollo seismometer data from 1972-77 detected 62 moonquakes near the surface, some strong enough to shift furniture. Unlike #Earth's quakes, the #moon's stiff rock vibrates longer. Causes may include Earth's tidal gravity and heat. Future #lunar homes must be quake-resistant. Buzz Aldrin is shown with a seismometer in an image.
