A total solar eclipse would still be possible in plenty of scenarios, it just makes the moon ONLY eclipse the sun and nothing else. They fit perfectly within one another from our perspective.

This coincidence is also often claimed by the religious to be the work of God himself due to how unlikely it is.

God tried a universe where those were switched, the moon was 400x larger and the sun was 400x closer but it didn't work out so good.

Thank you for sharing my transit shots! I'm actually shooting another one in around 2 hours. If you'd like to learn more about my work check out my Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/cosmic_background/ …

How do you expose for the sun? It must be an extremely short shutter speed and small aperture. Do you explain your methods somewhere? Amazing work. Congrats

Ok this just blew my mind ! I had to check and The diameter ratio is 1.3927 million / 3,474.2 = 400.87 And the distance ratio is 150.79 million / 384,400 = 392.27 So this makes sense !
