Eclipse now!

Today's solar eclipse is visible here in Thailand. Besides the hole-in-the-paper projection on the wall method, I was able to scrounge up a welder's helmet and get a good glimpse a few minutes ago. The eclipse is full in parts of India- here, it was just a section out of the left side of the sun. Even in India, it was annular- meaning that a small part of the sun is visible around the moon because of how far away from us the moon is right now. What are the chances of the moon being at just the right distance from us to produce beautiful full eclipses of the sun? Think about it.
