Howdy guys!

Fun science fact: The sun is not only about 400 times the diameter of the moon, but also about 400 times further away, so it appears the same size as the moon in the sky. Yes kids, by pure chance! And not only this, but the moon's orbit slots perfectly over the sun during an eclipse, it's extremely precise, and occurs year after year.

Yes that's right children, the moon's orbit which allows for this just happens to be the right orbit by chance! And we just happen to live in a time when it's possible to see it, by chance!

Real science is awesome!
