Kerbol eclipses on other celestial bodies
It is theoretically possible to observe a Kerbol eclipse on other celestial bodies provided they have a moon or the body is a moon itself.
Kerbol eclipses on Duna
Since Duna's moon Ike is in a near synchronous orbit a Kerbol eclipse happens every day.
A parital Kerbol eclipse visible on top of a rocket with Minmus visible from the inside of the blue circle.
