Solar Eclipse

Recommended Posts

I was just testing a new SSTO concept as the program stated that a solar array (on top of the craft, not the foldable one) is blocked by the mun while the craft was on the KSC Runway. Thinking this could mean only one thing i looked up...

Is that a more common event in KSP than in real life (due to the scale of the solar system and the strict orbits?) Or was i just incredibly lucky?

It happened in Year 8 , Day 29, 0h, 0m, 40s

It's hugely more common in KSP, in fact, Mun eclipses Kerbin (and vice versa) once every orbit because Mun's orbit has no inclination relative to Kerbin!

Eclipses elsewhere are more rare, but Duna and Ike have the same situation as Kerbin/Mun because their relative inclinations are also zero.
