well :)
The sun and moon appear the same size in Earth's sky because the sun's diameter is about 400 times greater – but the sun is also about 400 times farther away.
So what are the chances of having a satellite that is 400 times smaller than the sun and also being positioned at exactly 1/400 of the distance to the sun , to be able to give us this beautiful ring during solar eclipse?
