Also amazing is that the moon is at the EXACT correct size and distance from the earth to give us perfect total eclipses with just the sun’s corona showing. The possibility of this is infinitely low and that is combined with the fact that the Earth is the only known place with intelligent life. So perhaps eclipses (extremely rare but taken for granted) are God’s way of winking at us.
That’ll change over time. The moon is drifting away from Earth at 1.6”. The further away it gets the slower the Earths rotation will be. Gonna suck in a couple thousand years.
Gods way of winking...
Thanks!
The moon is only at the “Exact correct size & Distance” some of the time. Other times you get partial or annular (ring of fire) eclipses.
Jupiter’s moons also at times fit exactly over the sun from each other.
