      Won’t make much difference for me unfortunately. Only a tiny slither of the moon will appear over the sun, right as the sun sets. Not worth going out for.

      even if you did that, Phobos moves so quickly around the sky (its orbital period is only a few hours, versus a month for our moon) that these eclipses would last a matter of seconds, if the angular sizes were closely matched.

  • @enteente6027

    Fun fact: the Saturn moons Janus and Epimetheus are coorbital. This means they have very similar orbits. Roughly every four years, the moons will get close to each other and perform a sort of gravitational dance, where they switch orbits. So Janus taking the orbit of Epimetheus and vice versa.

    7:55 I ran the numbers for Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto a few years ago. The apparent sizes vary wildly depending on where the moons are in their respective orbits, but the apparent diameter ranges for Io and Europa do overlap with the apparent diameter of the Sun, when observed from either Ganymede or Callisto. So perfectly aligned total solar eclipses - where the photosphere is blocked but not the corona - are possible, but I have no idea of how frequent they would be.

    Another consideration for those S-tier eclipses on outer planets is that they're all caused by moons in very rapid orbits (typically about a day or less). They move incredibly rapidly across the sky, so any eclipses they cause (particularly with a size match to the sun close enough that much of the corona is visible) will be incredibly quick - on the order of several seconds (if even that much). They're also not round so you're a lot less likely to see effects such as Baily's Beads or a prominent diamond ring effect. Solar eclipses from the earth are truly unique.

      Eclipses by other moons are probably very rare, but might be cool, while eclipses by their respective planets are 100% nighttime, as both Jupiter and Saturn are huge in the sky. The start and end of the eclipse might be interesting tho, depending on how the sunlight gets diffused by the atmosphere. Lastly, Titan might actually get some great eclipses from Saturn's rings.

    The corona is larger than you think. Earth's angular radius from the Moon is around 60 arc minutes, Sun's is the same as on Earth (15 arc minutes). This means that Earth obscures the inner 45 arc minutes of the corona (in the "worst case" scenario when both objects are perfectly lined up), but the corona actually extends out for many degrees.

    The eclipses taking place far enough out that the sun appears point-like, would those planets even have a noticeable "night" phase, or would it be about the same effect as their moons passing in front of any of the other myriad stars in the sky?

    Out of curiosity: you included Pluto, but not any of the other dwarf planets. Any reason? My daughter is really into dwarf planets (specifically Make Make) and I'd be interested to know if any of those would experience interesting or unusual eclipses (especially those in the astroid belt, though I imagine that would be hard to research)

    Simulations of how eclipse might look from another planet. Damn. As an amateur astronomer in the 90's, I remember when "map of galaxy/universe" came out on 150 CD's. And now one can somewhat accurately simulate how eclipses look on another planet. I do want to watch that, since I was born too early to visit another planets.

      Also amazing, is that it's not just significant to us as just an interesting coincidence that makes us curious, or that is interesting because it looks cool. It is also scientifically significant, that we are lucky enough to get this coincidence. A solar eclipse helped produce empirical evidence of Einstein's theory of general relativity, when Arthur Eddington captured the 1919 solar eclipse photo of a star deflected out of place.

    This question I've never thought of before occurred to me when you were talking about how bad the eclipses were on the distant planets where the sun is tiny: why *are* the planets where they are (relative to the sun of course)? why do they go from smaller to bigger? why rocky in the inner solar system and gaseous in the outer? I'm sure this is all understood but I don't think I've ever heard it explained.

    • @linecraftman3907
      @linecraftman3907 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      the solar system formed from a could of gas and dust, as the sun formed all the light gas was blown outwards by solar winds and the big gas planets were formed, while the inner planets consisting mostly of little amounts of dense dust stayed closer

    All I know is that I was able to travel to northern VT on Monday and witness a few mins of totality under clear skies, which is insane considering how the weather usually is in New England this time of year. To have been waiting for this for 7 years+, and take my wife and 4 year old daughter, who wasn't even conceived of yet when I first planned on going, was amazing for the lack of a better word. The icing on the cake was getting a couple great shots of not only the corona, but the solar flares around the sun at the time with my wife's canon 5DmkIV with 75-200mm f2.8L lens @ 200mm. It all feels like a "fairy tale" story in how it all worked out. I just hope my daughter remembers it... she's been talking about it ever since… She seems to think it will be something we can see all the time because she was so young seeing her first eclipse 😂 I'll never forget the moment that last sliver of sun vanished, and we first saw totality... my daughter immediately yelled out after we told her she could take her glasses off "daddy! The sun is black, with a big glowing ring around it!" Absolutely a once in a lifetime experience. Worth fighting all the traffic for sure!

    The definition of eclipse is “an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination.” Saturns rings are a celestial body, and I’d consider them separate from the planet itself just as a moon is (just tied gravitationally together) so ring eclipses definitely count :)
