Reminder - Earth is the only planet that we know of that has a perfect solar eclipse, since our moon happens to be about the exact same size as our sun when viewed from the Earth.
Nowhere else in the universe does this happen.

They (moon fags) will proceed to argue that the convenience of the moon is proof that we’re in some sort of simulation.They will then ignore the artistic implications of an alien intellect making *other* things, aside. Why not Jupiter? Why not Hoag’s object? Why not literally any other cosmically low-odds object?

it's not perfect. there is a difference between total and annular eclipses for one.

about being the key word. the distance to the moon is not fixed. the moon is moving away from the Earth. the only 'fluke' is that we happen to be living in a time period where the visible arc size of the moon is close to that of the sun.

Accurately determining the positions of exoplanet moons is not possible. It could be relatively common that moons eclipse the sun fully sometimes - we don't know. It's touted as an anthromorphic bias thing but we have no way of testing that since we cannot determine the apparent size of moons from the surface of an exoplanet.

Partly, it's very close and can be the same size OCCASIONALLY. Since the moon is on an elliptical orbit it varies.The difference on average is 9 arcseconds.

Prob too late and too boring to try to gotcha this.... but anyway when the moon is bigger or smaller and the sun bigger/smaller in the sky they dont always overlap. And in the cases where the sun gets too small, there's an annular eclipse.Think about them being "perfectly" the same, exactly the same angular diameter in the sky. That would mean the moon would have to go further from earth at the time Earth was approaching closer to the sun (in January) and all in lockstep. To what, a meter in difference? I wouldn't put my house on it.Tbf they are quite similar in size. For now...... one day that moon will finally fuck off a bit further back and won't be able to inconveniently block the sun when I am trying to use its lights to see in the damn day time. Goodness.

The large size of the moon isn’t what’s convenient, it’s the (current) distance of the moon. Be thankful we live in such a time period, when the moon isn’t too far or too close. It’s the same thing with cold weather. We’re coming out of an ice age. Be thankful you can experience snowfall.

Its not that they LOOK the same size (moon size from our pov vary), its more about position and distance relation. You can make your own eclipse with an everyday object if you put it at the right angle and distance from your perspective

The moon’s sidereal period is 27.322 days. One quadrant of the sun is 27.322 earth diameters.
The moon’s orbital distance is 109.26 times its diameter. The sun’s diameter is 109.26 earth’s diameter.
The moon is 1/400th the size of the sun and 400 times closer to earth.
Despite being 27% as large as earth, the moon has 1/81 of the mass. When struck it rings for hours like a bell. All craters on the moon are of equal depth.

I truly believe the moon is a spiritual entity representing things like death and uncertainty. Imagine a circle in the sky to represent light of day and a circle in sky to represent light of night. Both roughly the same size from the ground. Too fundamental to be a coincidence. The moon is a representation of a deeper part of reality the depths that can't be seen. A light in the darkness. Yes it sounds cheesy but is true also the moon is made of cheese.

Plenty of other planets have eclipses, many of them much cooler than ours in some regards. Charon, for example, has over eight times the apparent diameter of our Moon, which means it would completely block *all* light from the Sun, not just the photosphere. And because of the larger angular size in combination with the much slower angular rotation of Charon and Pluto about their center of mass, totality would last for a little over ~100 minutes instead of 3-4.
