A Kerbol eclipse happens when the star Kerbol comes inline with the Mun hiding from Kerbin

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.
