With a total eclipse coming up next month, I wondered: do other planets have total eclipses too? So I did the math… and the answer is, surprisingly, yes! But ours are still way cooler.

Is Earth the only planet with total solar eclipses?

Other planets have moons, too. Do they get eclipses like we do?

@badastro Hi Phil. Long time reader, first time tooter. Try adding these hashtags to your posts: #astrodon #astronomy #astrophysics #space #science

I retooted your post about the Vera Rubin Observatory using those hashtags which are some of the active and relevant hashtags I found. That post did well, bit I can't claim it was my retoot with hashtags that did it unless we repeat the experiment until 5 sigma. 😉
