OK but it’s pretty cool that the moon is just far enough and just the right size relative to Earth and the sun to give us all those rad eclipses.

EDIT: Also I tested and this burger is the same size as a Canadian one dollar coin.

Because the moon is moving away very slowly there will be a last total solar eclipse at some point. We're lucky to have such good ones currently
