You are there! Sunset on Mars
A beautiful new timelapse showing sunset on Mars in mid-April, 2015, from the Mars Curiosity rover.
This new timelapse lets you experience a sunset on our neighboring planet, Mars. NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover captured the images to make this animated gif from the Gale Crater on Mars during Sol 956 – the 956th day of the rover’s activity on the Martian surface. By earthly calendars, it was Wednesday, April 15, 2015.
At the time, the planet Mercury was transiting the sun as seen from Mars. These observations were an attempt to observe Mercury passing in front of the sun, as well as to obtain a Martian sunset with Curiosity’s Mast Cameras.
NASA wrote:
The four images shown in sequence here were taken over a span of 6 minutes, 51 seconds.
This was the first sunset observed in color by Curiosity. The images come from the left-eye camera of the rover’s Mast Camera (Mastcam). The color has been calibrated and white-balanced to remove camera artifacts. Mastcam sees color very similarly to what human eyes see, although it is actually a little less sensitive to blue than people are.
Bottom line: Animated gif of a Martian sunset, April 15, 2015, acquired by the Mars Curiosity rover’s Mast Camera.

Let us take a moment to appreciate such a beautiful astronomical photo, as always.
Heliophilia: love of sunlight. 🌞
I’m the type of person to get very depressed in the winter; I absolutely loathe the cold and the darkness. Spring is here, & summer is just around the corner- I’ve been taking a lot of hikes recently/ just exploring nature. Since my classes are ending for the semester, I’ve gotten into meditation and yoga- college has been stressing me out this year, and this summer, I just wanted to focus on “mentally healing” if you will.
I believe if people would spend more time in the sunlight, they’d experience life on a deeper level. Look up at the sun as it enriches you with nutrients and romance- the morning sky welcomes you. Our place in the cosmos is important to dream about, but let’s not forget our home- The Solar System, for it is beautiful and as far as we know, unique.
