For those who donโ€™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.

See, thatโ€™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 donโ€™t have to sleep on the couch.

Since our moon is moving away from us weโ€™ll have these sorts of eclipses in the future. The fact that weโ€™re living at a time when theyโ€™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
