Imagine not having a moon the exact size and distance away from you so that it can perfectly blot out the sun during an eclipse. what a loser am i right.

I saw someone say if we had contact with aliens, they’d be coming here in droves to see the amazing cosmic rarity of a total solar eclipse with a visible corona (especially on a habitable planet). Which honestly sounds about right.

It's a minor plot point in the book Transition by Iain M Banks. It's a great book. Read it

I'm not ruining anything by saying this. It's mentioned super early in the book.
