Kerbin Eclipsing the Sun

[mojobojo]

I thought this was really cool. I have been consistently failing at landing a rover on the moon by running out of fuel too fast and caught this right after I saved myself from hitting the surface by enabling infinite fuel.

EDIT: Well I feel dumb, I realize that this happens all the time, staying up too late kinda backfired on me there.

You can actually see this happen every time the planet goes over the sun.

You know, like, when you're orbiting the dark side of the planet.

Where there's no sun.

Yeah my brain went completely dumb there. I guess I am staying up too late playing this game. Sorry about that.

I know what you mean, though. It happens all the time, but it's rare that you actually look up and notice it. And when you do, it's still awesome!

Speaking of eclipses... the fact that the mun creates a perfect solar eclipse is a coincidence?

The mun has 0 inclination, and so eclipses the sun every orbit

It's also the same apparent size as the sun in the sky, same as the Earths' moon, which is probably on purpose (the Mun, not the Moon).
