<p>In 1977, the house was handed over to the Levi Eshkol Authority and to the memory of Prime Minister Levi Eshkol.<br />
During this period, in 1989 the building was defined as having architectural and historical value.<br />
Today the house is a permanent residence for Levi Eshkol's activities.<br />
The ground floor of the building was opened as a visitors center with a periodic display of the reconstruction of the prime minister's rooms and an interactive tour of the history and activities of Levi Eshkol. The display cabinets of the Levi Eshkol Library were incorporated in the display cabinets.<br />
The upper floor of the building is used to host educational and public activities, lectures and study evenings.</p>

<p>It's not often that you can capture a Milky Way shot during the full moon, but the taal lunar eclipse on the morning of March 3 provided that opportunity! I was hoping for a little more red on the foreground from the moon, but it'll be many more years before a lunar eclipse is at our backs while the Milky Way is in the sky, so I'll take this win!<br />
<br />
I blew it on the focus and processing, producing pinpoint stars, which are utterly counterproductive to having stars show up well in a print, especially when seen at a normal viewing distance for the print size. Fortunately I shot the scene in a way that gives me a processing option to help address the problem (when I get around to it). <br />
