From JPL's Astronomy Picture of the Day, this has got to be the most spectacular solar eclipse image I have ever seen:

AB, When I read your post I thought to myself, "Yeah, well; I've seen some really remarkable solar eclipse photos and videos. I really doubt this one could be better."

However, I took a look, and I have to agree with you. WOW!

Does anyone but me see God's hand here?

I mean - think about it: the size of the moon, the size of the sun, and the distance between the two, as well as the distance between us and the moon - all of this had to be "just right" in order for a solar eclipse to occur the way it does. I know solar eclipses don't necessarily change anyone's life or anything, but I just find the "coincidences" to be too incredible.
