That co-incidence seems so unlikely that it is one of the things that makes me ponder about a "higher power" being involved.
God did it so that we can enjoy Solar eclipses?

just watched NOVA Eclipse Over America on PBS and they talked about the Babylonians recording and predicting eclipses
Eclipse Over America — NOVA | PBS
When I saw the 1991 eclipse in Mexico, the small town was basically deserted. After the eclipse was over I asked a local why nobody was around and they said the church told them to stay indoors because they risked becoming sterile if they looked at it...
*100 Teslapoints for whoever first points out the obvious. But hurry!
Yes literally the same picture, just with different contrast enhancement. Actually the raw image is a stack of 10 back-to-back exposures.
I used MaxIm DL software. My company makes it. The same software operated the camera for me during totality.

What's special about eclipses at this point in time is that we're able to observe the corona so well. The precise match between the angular diameters of the sun and moon is truly remarkable. Further, this is occurring exactly when humanity exists in large numbers and is sufficiently advanced to be able to make careful observations.
As an isolated phenomenon, sure, this could be considered a random coincidence. Considered alongside the many, many other ways that our existence appears to be super fine tuned, however, it's perfectly reasonable to see this as the work of a master designer who wanted us to be able to study and marvel at the universe. Also consider that Elon Musk has mused that there's a good chance that this universe is actually a "simulation". I'm not saying I agree, but whether there's a supreme being (God) or we're in a simulation created by another civilization, we'd sort of expect there to be some appearance of design. And regarding the simulation idea, it seems to me that a convincing simulation would be incredibly hard to construct and its existence would leave open the question of ultimate origins.
Unless the point of the simulation was to see what would happen if you combined an awesome car with a crappy media app.would also have been able to write a decent Media Player app
Any decent simulation would introduce hardships.You'd think if Elon Musk is correct, and we are all living inside a simulation, that whoever created this incredibly complex simulation would also have been able to write a decent Media Player app... so therefore, I submit this a proof we are not in a simulation.
