So here's the thing about the shape of the Earth.

It's neither flat nor round. It's shaped like a spring and the sun & moon take turns floating downward, through the center. Then they each exit out the side, go back up, and repeat. The eclipse is just when the moon accidentally forgets to set his alarm clock and so they run into each other and God has to have a meeting to talk about his pay again and explain that this is a business.
