Coincidence?

If you think it a little eerie that the sun happens to be 400 times larger than the moon at the same time as being 400 times farther away (making it the same apparent size) then feast your pattern-recognisin’, paradolia-seekin’, Holy-Mary-in-a-pancake eyes on this:

hydrogen + zirconium + tin + oxygen + rhenium + platinum +
tellurium + terbium + nobelium + chromium + iron + cobalt +
carbon + aluminum + ruthenium + silicon + ytterbium + hafnium +
sodium + selenium + cerium + manganese + osmium + uranium +
nickel + praseodymium + erbium + vanadium + thallium + plutonium

… is an anagram of …

nitrogen + zinc + rhodium + helium + argon + neptunium +
beryllium + bromine + lutetium + boron + calcium + thorium +
niobium + lanthanum + mercury + fluorine + bismuth + actinium +
silver + cesium + neodymium + magnesium + xenon + samarium +
scandium + europium + berkelium + palladium + antimony + thulium

… and when you switch these element’s names for their numbers (their position in the periodic table) …

1 + 40 + 50 + 8 + 75 + 78 +
52 + 65 + 102 + 24 + 26 + 27 +
6 + 13 + 44 + 14 + 70 + 72 +
11 + 34 + 58 + 25 + 76 + 92 +
28 + 59 + 68 + 23 + 81 + 94

… equals 1416, as does …

7 + 30 + 45 + 2 + 18 + 93 +
4 + 35 + 71 + 5 + 20 + 90 +
41 + 57 + 80 + 9 + 83 + 89 +
47 + 55 + 60 + 12 + 54 + 62 +
21 + 63 + 97 + 46 + 51 + 69

    incidentally, it’s also quite a mystery how our moon came to be caught in our orbit – apparently it’s not made of the same stuff

    someone once described it as the cosmological equivalent of “[walking in a straight line, then...]…oh all right…[begins walking in an orbital circle]…but I have a dark side…”

    Really? I thought it was the result of a collision between something big and earth? Got a reference I can check out?
