No wonder the demons in Doom came to attack the base on Phobos. Janky ass turd of a moon

Spoiler alert: there’s an even uglier one.

Can confirm. Earths total eclipses are wild. Most otherworldly spectacle I will witness in my life.

Fully intend to do acid next time I see one.

You better duct tape those eclipse glasses to your face

I thought moons & planets always appear generally round from a distance. This lumpy irregularly-shaped Phobos looks like an asteroid.

Both Mars’ moons (Phobos and Deimos) are asteroids. They’re really small.
“Hydrostatic equilibrium” is the term (I think) for when a body is massive enough for it’s gravity to pull it into a spheroid. E.g. Ceres is about 950km in diameter and is ‘round’.

And another W for earth, get fucked mars. Is he even trying?

Hmm today I learned that asteroids can also be moons! Was it just floating around freely like any other asteroid until it got caught into the orbit of Mars, then got stuck there forever?

Some moons are just like that. Don’t body shame them

Banks had an idea that our total solar eclipse is unique on a galactic scale and aliens for sure come to Earth to see it. So if you want to find aliens you have to monitor solar eclipse sites. I wonder is any government agency actually did it.

Really weird book that one, even for Banks. Tangents or is it Inversions?

Transitions I believe. I think it’s the last or one of the last ones he wrote (he died and 2013 and in the book he mentions 2008 crisis). Weakest of his books I’ve read. Don’t know if he didn’t had the time to finish it or something but it was just full of holes.

Its’s not Mars’ fault!!
Fuckin Phobos. As usual

Pathetic. No wonder we haven’t bothered to go there yet.

Is it still an eclipse if it’s only a partial obscuration?
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Yes but it isn’t as cool

It’s incomprehensibly special and rare that our moon is just the right size and _just_the right distance away that we get almost perfect eclipses.
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
I’ve been lucky enough to see a complete solar eclipse 2 times. It’s even more special because it won’t be able to do that forever and it didn’t alqays either. Genuinely one of the coolest parts of our planet rn.

That, and the, y’know, life supporting-ness.

It really makes you think if this planet was designed by mice or not.
