This is NOT a time lapse by the way people, it takes only 30 seconds for Phobos to transit the Sun

It's great!

Sun is white if not viewed from Earth. From all other planets and moons its white, not yellow.

You see, you give yourself away there. If you don't know it is false news they "report", how did you know it was them I was referring to?.

Looks pretty interesting, but our own solar eclipse is trully one of a kind in the whole solar system.

You should go to a doctor and have him look at your brain.

It is broken from repeat exposure to Faux News channel.

Kind of reminds me of the solar eclipse I saw when I was younger... "What's so special about it, I don't see anything?" Then again, I was quite young, and I'll probably think I was too young when I watched this. Damn my lack of Wisdom and/or maturity.
