It was totally worth the 15 Kerbals killed.

That happened to me when I was on the runway. I thought it was a bit too dark, turned around and OH NO WHERE DID THE SUN GO.

Beautiful!

Hmm, never did see a solar eclispe before on Kerbin, though.

Due to the lack of inclination of the Mun's orbit, they'll happen every Munth. IIRC they don't change the lighting on the landscape, at least not in stock, so you might not notice one if you aren't looking at the Sun and aren't monitoring solar panel performance. They're good for spoiling ion glider flights though.

I wonder if the game renders transits? They wouldn't block solar panels, but it'd be neat to see a little black speck against the Sun.

Not a full eclipse, but SCIENCE! had to be done. Jeb's already getting sidetracked..gotta keep an eye on him.

Munth.

Really? Munth? *slow clap*

Even though they are really common, I never really land in the right place for Kerbin to be easily visible (its usually right above me, or on the wrong side of the Mun), so i don't think i've actually seen one... wow
