While Phobos is the larger of Mars\u2019 two moons, it is still extremely small, measuring 17 x 14 x 11 miles in diameter<\/a>. Its small size means that there can never be a total eclipse on Mars<\/a>. No matter what, parts of the sun will always peek out<\/a> from behind the shadows of Mars\u2019 moons. <\/p>\n This is not the first solar eclipse spotted from Mars.
