  It is pretty sick how the sun and moon just happen to seem the same size from the surface. Nowhere else has the magic of eclipses like Earth.

    It’s also a now thing. The non avian dinosaurs didn’t have them either

      They had eclipses. It just wasn’t close to the same size.

    Plenty of other places have it, and even more would have moons that take up a larger field of view than their star. The universe is so large it’s not like it would be unique to earth.
