Bethany Ehlmann, a distinguished professor of planetary science at Caltech and the president of the nonprofit Planetary Society, is eagerly anticipating her first total solar eclipse experience in Fredericksburg, Texas. The Planetary Society has gathered in Fredericksburg to witness this celestial event, and Ehlmann is looking forward to being fully present in the moment.
While Ehlmann is excited about the upcoming total solar eclipse on Earth, her thoughts may briefly drift to the red planet, Mars, where eclipses are a common occurrence. Ehlmann mentioned that on Mars, eclipses can be visible approximately three times a day due to the movements of its two small moons, Phobos and Deimos.
