If the moon's orbital plane coincided with the earth's orbital plane, there would be a
lunar eclipse every month at full moon, and a solar eclipse every month at new moon.
We wouldn't think anything of it. That would just be the way things work,
no more startling than the daily rising and setting of the sun.
