    Here's the remarkable coincidence that allows us to see total solar eclipses: the diameter of the Moon is 400 times smaller than the diameter of the Sun, but it is also 400 times closer to us.pic.twitter.com/fp8rVQ94Ad

        I read that this is rare enough that aliens would visit just to see it. Next eclipse, look around closely at your fellow eclipse watchers...

        I'm an atheist but every time I think about this "coincidence" it makes me wonder.

        Or a more logical explanation is that there is an intelligent designer behind all this.

        There is another angle to it as well. Distance b/w Earth & Sun ~= 108 * Diameter of the Sun Distance b/w Earth & Moon ~= 108 * Diameter of the Moon Diameter of Sun ~= 108 * Diameter of Earth Thats one of the reason why 108 is a sacred number in Hinduism.
