The moon takes about half a degree of the sky’s arc. (So does the sun. That’s why total eclipses are possible.)

Rap artists have to clear every last sample or they don’t own the copyright to their work- but when tech oligarchs pirate every ebook ever made and use it to build plagiarism engines, it is not just legal, they will get a bailout if their slop doesn’t turn a profit.
