“Super wolf blood moon lunar eclipse meteor impact” is too long to be a good band name, sadly.

I was taking photos. I saw a meteorite near the moon thought maybe this was it… but no definitely not which makes sense I don’t suppose a moon strike would have a tail.

South Wales British Movement? Oh, Second Wave Black Metal. I didn’t know it had a second wave…
Hmm, surely “blood” and “wolf” would be in there, too? Or is that more first wave?

Somewhat tangential, but I was watching this the other day:

-
As well as the famous Straits, Magellan also has a few galaxies and a pair of moon craters named after him.

Magellan was a douche.
So, I had a thought:
Any chance we can get this new crater named after Lapu-Lapu?
