Good Lord!!
"The initial computations that brought this event to light were made by Jean Meeus of Belgium."
If it wasn't for the Belgians this never would have been known!! Maybe that's why I don't remember seeing anything about it in the "Neanderthaler News" the last time -- Belgium hadn't been discovered yet.
Actually, this is pretty darned exciting to me, an old, dyed-in-the-wool SF fan and astronomer wannabe.
