Solar eclipses don’t just happen here on earth – moons of other planets also pass between those planets and the Sun, resulting in various types of solar eclipses on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and even non-planets like Pluto, Eris and various asteroids. So, where are the best eclipses in the solar system? This Minutephysics video provides a tier list exploring what eclipses would be like in other parts of the solar system.
