    I… Disagree. But I’m a space nerd anyways so the thought of 2 celestial bodies as far away as they are from each other to be such a perfect ratio that they basically perfectly overlap, to be just the neatest little cosmic joke on our improbable planet. It’s a fun quirk and being at all able to see it is neat.

    Also, I’m sorry but I was in northern Appalachian where for like half an hour it got slowly darker by just a little bit at a time and by the time it got mostly covered a perfect cloud coverage hit to make it viewable from the naked eye behind the clouds as a crescent for the next hour and it was very cool to see that sliver of crescent sun just hanging up there.

    It was neat for not being totality.
