Dru, it's cynical Canadians like yourself that are ruining pop-culturally interesting, feel-good astronomical happenings like this one. Criticism like this dampens the enthusiasm of junior astronomers, and is demonstrably damaging to the burgeoning binocular industry both in America and abroad. In summation, please refrain from further disparagement of this and other celestial goings on such as eclipses, meteor showers, near-collisions with other planets, etc.
Thank you, and good day!
