Eclipsed

I just saw that Australia had its first solar eclipse in one thousand years.
I have always tripped on the relationship of size between the three bodies. A small satalite blocks a sun at a perfect size to the eye. The earth blocks the sunlight to the moon in the same perfect size relationship.
I like to think is is by design but will surely be accused of dillusional meanderings

It's actually only been 10 years since the last one, funny how things get twisted on the grape vine.

i went to see one a few years back in August 1999 Cornwall Newquay UK it was a weird feeling a good feeling as it had been peeing it down all morning but just as the moon totally covered the sun there was a brake in the clouds and it happend i dont no if i will ever see one again in my life time (i hope i do) lol

How do you know it wasnt just a million aussies all turning off their satellite tellys simultaneously now Casey Moaner has packed up racing?
