Something absolutely magical is the fact that in the geologically tiny instant humanity has existed, the moon is just far enough away so that full eclipses are a thing, not to mention tides and other lunar phenomena. A few million years before or after and if wouldn’t be at all like this

Considering the AdMech keeps everything running, them stopping would really bring it all down burning.

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.
