This is weird, heavy rain all around us, strong wind gusts, but no rain yet. Everyone either side of Necum Teuch is in rain clouds, but it hasn't crossed our harbour yet.

The idea of using the Moon as a reflector eventually led to this 1960 image of USS Hancock sent to D.C. from Honolulu via the lunar surface.
