Sky and Telescope published an article about how rare eclipses of the sun are (spoiler, they are not with an average of 2.38 per year for the 2000 year period 1001 AD to 3000 AD - this covers partial, total, annular and hybrid). However, each one covers less than 1% of the Earth’s surface and there is normally more than 300 years between eclipses passing over the same point which makes them seem rare. What is unusual or perhaps rare, in terms of eclipses is the apparent diameter of the moon and sun being the same to permit total eclipses and observation of the corona.
