minus-squarevga@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up37·edit-21 year agoHow perfectly moon fits between earth and the sun is one of the weirdest things about our solar system for me.
minus-squareBluesF@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·1 year agoEspecially because it hasn’t always and it won’t forever. Humanity’s existence just happens to coincide with the period of amazing eclipses.
