The coincidence in #7 is that we are alive to see the moon and sun appear
to be the same size in the sky. Since the moon is slowly spiralling away
from the earth, in the past it was closer, and appeared larger, and in the
future, it will be further away, and smaller. The annular eclipses
demonstrate this is already starting to happen.
