I mean, what are the odds? Some say it's a sign from God. The rest say it's random.

All I know is the coincidence allowed us to view light being bent by gravity.

    - Well, Betelgeuse's size and distance is still in debate with estimates varying widely - SteveS - 10/15/2013 1:58:58 PM
      - Granted. We know little about the accurate dimensions of the disc, - ER - 10/15/2013 4:36:05 PM

    - Its a coincidence. - ER - 10/15/2013 2:59:16 AM
      - Its also a coincidence there's a bright star near the N pole. - ER - 10/15/2013 3:07:13 AM
        
        And a temporary coincidence at that. - TB - 10/15/2013 3:32:27 AM
