Do other planets have solar eclipses?

In our solar system, the short answer is no. But there are other events of interest. One recent example comes from the rover Perseverance on the planet Mars. It captured an image of the moon Phobos going across the disk of the sun. Was it an eclipse? No. It was properly called a transit. At least two things prevent it from being an eclipse. Because Phobos is small, likely a captured asteroid, it is not spherical, so it cannot cover the sun, which is spherical (circular in cross section.) Phobos is also too far away from the surface of Mars to appear large enough to completely cover it. That being said, it is still cool to have this image available showing conclusively that other planets experience eclipse-like events, even if they aren’t exactly eclipses.
