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.

I read somewhere that this phenomenon is so unlikely that if we ever need to represent our planet in an intergalactic context, the solar eclipse would be a good candidate for a symbol to put on a flag [citation needed]

Sorry, but a similar design is already taken by the planet where everyone's obsessed with The Ring
