      Surely there's someone who could help here? That's a huge amount of money not to get paid.
      
      Maybe a legal someone in Germany?

      #LunarEclipse FAQ:
      
      Q: Is it safe to look at?
      A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse.
      
      Q: Do I need a telescope?
      A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up!
      
      Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom?
      A: Not at all! The news has that covered.

      Depending on where you are (mostly: Central/Eastern Asia, Oceania, most of North/Central America), you may be able to see a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE ("blood moon") overnight!

      I'm going to Japan for the first time in years and I could cry I'm so excited. My Japanese is hot hot garbage these days so this week I'm watching nothing but Terrance House and listening to JPop. Other show recommendations are welcome.
