Coincidence or not, that is the question
#1
Hello everyone!
What a coincidence. Today, just now, a little before 3:00 AM, I was thinking about this phenomenon: eclipses, when I suddenly decided to explore the subject further. Even after a few seconds, maybe even 1 or 2 minutes, of looking at the lunar eclipse calendar and looking at the information about the next lunar eclipse, I realized it will occur TODAY!!
These coincidences leave me incredulous.

How can I explain such a coincidence?
Have you ever experienced a similar situation?

Oh! And just to add a little more information, the next solar eclipse will be on the 21st of this month (September 21st).

Lunar eclipses are happen about twice a year. For a lunar eclipse to happen, the Moon must be exactly behind the Earth as seen from the sun. 14 days later, the Moon has made half an orbit, so goes is now in front of the Earth as seen for the Sun, in the position necessary for a solar eclipse to happen.

So there are coincidences, and there is astronomy.
