~~Forbes messed up their math.~~

Both of Mars' moons are either too small or too far from the planet to completely occlude the sun, but your article is about a moon of Saturn.

I'm not sure I would count a planet that no human or rover has a chance to see the eclipse, and at that distance the sun is TINY, but I'll bet that Pandora completely occludes both the sun and it's corona.

It's highly likely that no other planet in the galaxy has the correct conditions for a perfect solar eclipse.
