Earth is the only planet that we know of that has a perfect total solar eclipse: the sun just happens to be 400 times larger than the moon while also being 400 times farther away. This makes them appear the same size in the sky.

Tap this post to scroll through some of the most impossible sculptures of all time 🧵

1. The veil that got an artist accused of alchemy

Giuseppe Sanmartino carved the Veiled Christ from a single block of white marble in 1753 for the Cappella Sansevero in Naples.

Contemporaries accused him of alchemy for its breathtaking realism, and Canova himself declared he would give ten years of his life to have created it.

2. Marble sits at 3-4 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Steel sits at 4 to 4.5.

Khafre Enthroned is made of anorthosite gneiss, which registers at 6 to 7. It was carved over four millennia ago by ancient Egyptians who, according to archaeologists, had not yet developed iron tools.
