A Kerbol eclipse happens when the star Kerbol comes inline with the Mun effectively hiding itself 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 natural satellite or or the body is a natural satellite itself.

Since Duna's moon Ike is in a near synchronous orbit a Kerbol eclipse is observed not only every day but also in the same location.
