For those who don't know, Martian solar eclipses suck compared to ours. The near equal relative size of the sun and moon to Earth is why we get such awesome eclipses.

Perks of having a planet-sized object slam into your planet during its Hadean Eon.

Phobos is just not very aesthetically constructed.

Wife: “Does this dress make me look fat?” Me, a discerning scientist: “You’re just not very aesthetically constructed.”

See, that's fine the first time it happens. But after a couple of iterations you should have enough experimental data to know the answer that means you don't have to sleep on the couch.

Some people find hydrostatic equilibrium aesthetically pleasing.

Especially after we sent our space marines there to kill all those demons.

Only one will actually get the job done, though.

You can't fool me, those are just the cookie monster's eyes

Since our moon is moving away from us we’ll have these sorts of eclipses in the future. The fact that we’re living at a time when they’re the same apparent size is pretty amazing.

Imagine eclipses in the very early ages of life on land. It would be like Pitch Black.

The creatures in Pitch Black had a more equitable society, prove me wrong
