  1. "The great coincidence is near equality of the angular diameters of Sun and Moon as seen on the sky.

    The great coincidence causes there to be just barely total solar eclipses and just barely annular eclipses.

    The great coincidence may indeed be just a coincidence. On the other hand, there is now an anthropic principle argument for the great coincidence."

    -- David Jeffery, 2003

  4. Mashable: Photos, memes, and conspiracies out of the 2026 solar eclipse. “For the first time in 27 years, the people of mainland Europe were able to watch the moon pass perfectly in front of the sun and blot out its earthbound rays. That means members of Gen Alpha, and many young Gen Z space enthusiasts, just experienced their very first total solar eclipse.”
