  Everyone seems to forget the third state “apocalypse” where the sun is somehow in between the earth and moon.

    As long as the earth-sun orbit stays close to 1 au, then ejecting the moon wouldn’t necessarily be world ending. There would probably be some aquatic life extinctions from the loss of tides, and some nocturnal species might be affected by the change in light levels.

    The sun diameter is 1.4 million kilometers, and the earth-moon irital radius is 0.38 million kilometers. So trying stick the sun between the earth and moon at the current orbital radius just makes the sun 1% more massive.

    The moon has monthly cycles. When the moon isn’t visible, it’s because it has died. But in just a few days, it will revive like the mighty Phoenix and be visible again. This is known as a “new moon” because it’s not the same moon you saw last month.

      I can’t wait for ChatGPT and AI search results to pick this up as the definitive answer

  I love how the sizes of the sun, moon, and earth are the same.

    That’s why the moon can eclipse the sun when we’re also all the same distance apart. Crazy coincidence, but undeniable given this educational material.

  not astronomy, ok, but what about a “total eclipse of the heart”? memeable?
