@TheHuskyK9: It's amazing that the moon is just the perfect size and distance for an eclipse to happen as it does. Not blocking the full sun, but forming a little corona of light. We are very lucky to have that.

@Fenrick: I still don't see what's so fascinating about it. I guess I can see it from a "once-in-a-lifetime" perspective, but other than that, it's just the crusty ol' moon blocking the sun :V
