:The projection is to the center of the earth, not w.r.t. the sun like the shadow of a solar eclipse.

::Look at the first picture at this comic and compare it this to this one (left): [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Solar_eclipse_types.svg Solar_eclipse_types.svg]. You are just behind the moon at the surface of the earth, and when the moon is not close enough a total eclipse will not happen (right). All distances and also angular sizes belong to the surface but not the center of the Earth.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 18:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC) | ::Look at the first picture at this comic and compare it this to this one (left): [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Solar_eclipse_types.svg Solar_eclipse_types.svg].

I am of the theory that the entire comic was created specifically so Randall could include his eponymous asteroid. And yes, I can present a falsification experiment for this model. — [[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 15:47, 16 December 2016 (UTC) | I am of the theory that the entire comic was created specifically so Randall could include his eponymous asteroid.
