Mars gets googly eye eclipses?
If you say it like that it seems to be a win.
The relative proportions of our sun and moon, combined with their relative distances, create such a unique event in the Earth’s solar eclipse that astronomers have recommended its likeness for interplanetary identification, like an Earth flag.

So why can’t we stop destroying it?
Don’t you worry, the planet will be fine.
It’s suitability for human life however…
Do Phobos and Deimos ever transit at the same time? And if so, what’s the coolest shape they could make?
Yes they can but it would be very rare and Deimos is small enough, and orbits far enough from Mars that its apparent diameter from Mars is about 1/10th the diameter of Phobos. So it isnt really much to look at.

I hate embedded images, so no thanks.
I agree

We call a weak-ass event like this a transit, because it doesn’t even deserve to be an eclipse.

More of a cameo than anything, really.
