I wouldn't say it's splitting hairs. This is not an eclipse, very much
by the formal definitions of both "eclipse" and "transit". (An annular
eclipse is also a transit... we really only use the term because the
same conditions that generate it can also produce a true eclipse, so
the distinction makes sense.)

Of course, in casual usage the two terms overlap and are commonly
conflated. Which is not big deal, and I'm not complaining. Just
pointing out a technical distinction, that we, as astronomers, should
at least be aware of.

It would seem an eclipse is primarily when a moon passes between the planet and the central Sun in its orbit of a planet.

A transit is when a planet passes between another planet and the central Sun in its orbit of the Sun.

The time lapse qualifies supplied by Paul as an eclipse technically, at least for solar system researchers.

As is often the case, Gerald, your response is somewhat garbled.

All I can say is that the article that I referenced was written by someone representing both JPL and NASA... and if those towering institutions call it an eclipse, who am I to argue with them? Who are YOU to argue with them?

As always, YMMV...

I would say, who can argue against imaging and what their eyes are telling them whether an individual or an institution. The imaging is there for those who can appreciate a planetary transit as distinct from an eclipse rather than dither around trying to make one term look like the other and so what if the distinction looks garbled, I don't have the sole right to express the distinction in clear terms depending on whether a planet is orbiting the Sun as seen from another planet or a moon is orbiting a parent planet.

Only Venus and Mercury have transits as seen from Earth while Venus, Mercury and the Earth have transits of the central Sun as seen from Mars. It shows appreciation of solar system structure and planetary motions by making the clear distinction between an eclipse and a transit so the imaging you introduce does not go to waste or distracted by those who try to muddy the distinction.

It is really bad form that the intermediary imaging, which connects the long term planetary circuit of the Sun with the brief planetary transit doesn't even exist apart from this newsgroup-

https://www.popastro.com/images/planetary/observations/Venus-July%202010-January%202012.jpg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2uCtot1aDg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX6BbP1wAIs

The only personal thing in all this is an individual appreciation where long term observations are reduced in stages to provide a complete narrative so a planetary transit scales up to an orbital circuit or an orbital circuit of the Sun eventually reduces to a planetary transit as seen from a slower moving planet further out.

Speaking of transits, as we know historically, transits of Venus,
viewed from Earth, have been important in determining the dimensions
of the Solar System.

I don't suppose one of these space probes will have the great good luck
of being in the right place to view a transit of Earth from Mars, as was,
as we know, immortalized in a famous Arthur C. Clarke story.

An eclipse and a transit should be two different things with no ambiguity as a transit and an eclipse are component parts of a larger picture of orbital motion.

You brought up this wonderful imaging of Phobos passing between Mars and the central Sun in its 7 hours 39 min orbital period of its parent planet, so it puts an eclipse in context of size and distance between the three component objects, in this case the Sun, Mars and Phobos.

A transit is an entirely different animal which also represents three different components with the stationary Sun and two moving planets with relative speeds creating the spectacle.

Trying to conflate an eclipse and a transit is unhelpful so it is not even pedantic, it is just plain unhelpful for solar system structure and context..

Gerald... it is pretty obvious that you do not know what an annular eclipse is... a search engine will help you...

You should make the effort to instruct those around you what a planetary transit represents using a stepped reduction in time scales-

https://www.popastro.com/images/planetary/observations/Venus-July%202010-January%202012.jpg

The breakthrough is the time lapse prior to a transit where the motion of the Earth is accounted for by the annual change in position of the stars relative to the central/stationary Sun.

There are no imperatives here to learn something, there is only an invitation to fill in the gap when Venus moves from the left of the Sun (evening appearance) to the right of the Sun (morning appearance) with a transit representing its faster motion passing between the slower moving Earth and central Sun.

When Galileo first looked at the moons of Jupiter in their circuit of the parent planet in order to justify a heliostatic system indirectly, it opened up the opportunity for our era using a satellite to see the same thing on a planetary scale with our parent star as a focus, it should be rightly celebrated along with the ability to discern the difference between a lunar eclipse and a planetary transit. That may yet happen so people become more involved in observations.
