   @IsaacOstlund I want to know why the moon is the perfect size for a spectacular eclipse.

     In 2017 a man, after some thought, had a simple but genius idea and took a camera on a Southwest flight from Portland, Oregon to St. Louis and captured one of the most breathtaking images of all time.

     Jon Carmichael's "108" is probably my favorite #eclipse image and provokes introspection every time I see it.
