That’s sun minus moon. Moon plus sun is a wildly more massive, nuclear furnace of a moon that also engulfs the earth.

Reminds me of this AI word combination game recently shared on HN, with almost exactly these mechanics:

For the record, Sun+Moon is indeed eclipse.
>Moon plus sun is a wildly more massive, nuclear furnace of a moon that also engulfs the earth.
i just looked up mass of sun vs mass of moon (they differ by 10^30 vs 10^20), and the elemental composition of the sun: the moon would entirely disappear into the insignificant digits of trace elements which are in the range of .01 % of the sun. I could be off by orders of magnitude all over the place and it would still disappear.
Wait so moon plus sun != sun plus moon? :Thinking:
celestial objects don't need to obey algebraic commutativity!
I wonder if SCP-1313 does
This thread reminds me of Scribblenauts, the game where you conjure objects to solve puzzles by describing them. I suspect it was an inspiration for Baba Is You.
Scribblenauts was also an early precursor to modern GenAI/word embeddings. I constantly bring it up in discussions of the history of AI for this reason.
Could you explain? :3
Not sure about that. You can't have an eclipse without both the moon and the sun. Ergo, the eclipse is the totality (sorry!) of the sun and moon, or sun+moon (+very specific boundary conditions).
Still think it was a good response :)
Here i was, like an idiot, thinking it was moon light
Or potentially a sun that lasts slightly longer?
but then eclipse + moon = sun, which doesn't make much sense either :/
