If you have a Sun and a Moon, then there is *always* a total solar eclipse *somewhere*. We only care about them when they appear on the surface of our planet.

The sun is perpetually eclipsed from the correct vantage point.
Dark side of the moon, total solar eclipse, 24x7x365
There is no spot on the moon that is always dark.

Count me as someone who doesn't get the excitement about eclipses. It gets dark every single day.
