Yeah this is just the rare earth hypothesis again

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

#honestly I think habitable terrestrial planets are pretty rare- considering of the three in our solar system two of them are literally hell #Mars is too cold and radioactive #Venus too hot and acidic #ice moons with habitable subterranean oceans are absurdly fucking common though #there’s like a trillion of them in this system alone #Europa #Titan #Enceladus #Ganymede #Callisto #even fucking Pluto might have underground lakes #it’s genuinely fucking absurd how common they are #spehss
