Interesting thought:
I wonder if humans evolved on a planet with a shitty little moon like this, what would it have done to our views of the heavens? This moon is clearly just an object. It looks like what it is, a rock in space. No one is going to look like this and thing that the heavens contain magic and wonders and gods, they would look at this and thing it contains rocks.
We just happened to have a sun that’s 400 times larger and 400 times farther away than our moon, so they appear to have the same significance from our perspective.
I don’t have evidence to back this up, but I don’t think the sun looks that dull to the naked eye from Mars, I think these images were made carefully to show the shape of the moon clearly (with filters etc). If humans evolved on Mars we probably would never have even noticed eclipses were happening unless we eventually used technology to look closely at the sun.
We should blow up Deimos.
Casualties would be light. But it’s a declaration of war!
Remember the Cant!
Lets do it after we put Elon on there.
The only issue is if we put him into another planets orbit, his massive head may get mistaken for a new moon. Phobos, Deimos, Elon…
TEMU-ass eclipse
What a lop-sided budget ass moon. Gay. Loser.
It’s because the earth’s moon is hollow; created and inhabited by reptilians, at the behest of the illuminati. It is purposely seemingly the exact same size as the sun bc reasons./ – David Icke
Ritual reasons for certain
not wrong though, we are lucky that the apparent sizes of the moon and sun are as close as they are on Earth :D
And lucky to live in the time when they are. The moon is moving away from the Earth slowly, and eventually they won’t look to be the same relative size
Demons are gonna get basted by a space marine up there in 100 years or so.
Googly eyes ftw!
(I had a coworker put a googly eye on her eye patch one time. That was truly a fun day at work)
Everyone on Mars right now is a loser
DON’T you DARE disrespect my rovers!
I genuinely feel bad about this. My apologies to those little dudes
What a shitty moon.
Here’s a nice twofold question: what is the closest stable orbit that could produce a total eclipse on Mars? And how small would an object in that orbit then need to be, to produce that eclipse?
It’s already at the lowest orbit it can be, which will eventually fall into Mars in 40myears.
