Imagine not having a moon the exact size and distance away from you so that it can perfectly blot out the sun during an eclipse. what a loser am i right.

I saw someone say if we had contact with aliens, they’d be coming here in droves to see the amazing cosmic rarity of a total solar eclipse with a visible corona (especially on a habitable planet). Which honestly sounds about right.

It's a minor plot point in the book Transition by Iain M Banks. It's a great book. Read it

I'm not ruining anything by saying this. It's mentioned super early in the book.

Imagine being Martian and dressing like this every day

Roman empire hat and tennis shoes? The fuck is that?

Growing up watching old Looney Tunes, I always wondered why the Martian dude had a broom on his helmet.

Ohhh lol It just dawned on me; he's from Mars so he looks vaguely Roman.

Something absolutely magical is the fact that in the geologically tiny instant humanity has existed, the moon is just far enough away so that full eclipses are a thing, not to mention tides and other lunar phenomena. A few million years before or after and if wouldn't be at all like this
