    A pretty rare coincidence. I’ve read that if there was a thing like interstellar tourism, the earth would be quite popular for the solar eclipses, as it’s very rare that the size of the moon (in perspective) covers the sun exactly.

          Nah they mean observing from the surface of say the moon and seeing earth block the sun.

          I think this is a fairly common occurrence, but you wouldn’t get the same effect since the shadow would cover the entire surface and lack of atmosphere you wouldn’t get the sunset in all directions look.
