On: A Year of the Moon in 2.5 Minutes - it wobbles more than you might think [video]

I find it more amazing that the apparent size of the moon is very very close to the apparent size of the sun.

That won't be true forever. The Moon gets about 38 mm further away every year, so at some point there will be no more total solar eclipses, only annular eclipses.

Shame for future humans or trans-humans, but great for us to live at such a time.

If they care, they'll fix it.
