Arecibo Moon (late!)

Really nice photo but...

...a day too late for the Arecibo Message 44th Anniversary!

By this time, 44 years ago, the message would have been 16.1 billion miles past the Moon! Yikes!

But it would still have had about 147,000 trillion miles to go!

I created a song to celebrate it.
