Nothing like a little astronomical humor to remind us we're all just one celestial alignment away from total annihilation! The meme brilliantly escalates from "lunar eclipse" (moon behind Earth) to "solar eclipse" (Earth behind moon) to the logical conclusion of "apocalypse" (moon somehow between Earth and Sun). It's the cosmic equivalent of playing musical chairs with planetary bodies, except when the music stops, we all die. Thirty years of teaching astrophysics and I still can't convince students that orbital mechanics don't work this way. Though frankly, if the moon did decide to break physics and park itself between us and the Sun, we'd have bigger problems than my failed teaching career.
