    Okay, makes sense, but isn’t the distance between Earth and the moon uh… shri… grow… changing over time? So at some point in the past or future (or maybe even currently?), the distance would have been / would be the correct one for total eclipses.

      It is, but that’s only significant over a period of millions of years.

        So just like we happen to live in that precise time where total eclipses are possible, the Logday people may have lived or may one day live in a time where the moon is the right distance. No need to pity those fuckers.

          If they evolved around the same time we did, they’re unfortunately out of luck. But maybe life was a bit faster because of the 8 day weeks. :P
