I gotta admit though that it’s a pretty awesome coincidence that the moon is the size and at a distance that makes it look approximately the same size as the sun and allows us to have amazing looking eclipses.
But the moon is slowly drifting away from the Earth so it will not be true in the relatively near future.
Okay, not as near as I thought, although I did mean “relatively” compared to the age of the Earth.
Good save there
Or, you know, me admitting I was wrong but still clarifying.
They said “relatively”. So it’s okay.
I don’t know if this is sarcastic, but pedantic and edifying are a venn diagram

I mean, it’s possible if the burger is American. Unless the car is also American.
They could actually be one in the same:
Pretty sure the sun is way more than seven times brighter than the moon
Edit: after a quick internet search, the sun looks to be about 400,000 times brighter than the moon
That might be, but the moon is more important, since it shines at night when it’s dark. The sun is only in the sky during the day, when there’s plenty of light anyway.
Technically, TECHNICALLY, the Sun is infinitely brighter than the Moon since it emits no light at all ☝️
eh, as a videographer who measures and labels the output of lights professionally sometimes, we count bounced lights as lights.
thank god a videographer chimed in
Someone uttered for the first time ever
“Come on, Ted. Sure it’s no more peculiar than all that stuff we learned in the seminary, you know, Heaven and Hell and everlasting life and all that type of thing. You’re not meant to take it seriously, Ted!”
I read that in Dougal’s voice.
