NASA’s Curiosity Rover captured a crisp image of a stunning Mars sunset last month, marking the first time sun rays have been so clearly viewed on the Red Planet.
Stunning images from NASA have captured a Martian sunset last month, marking the first time sun rays have been so clearly viewed on the Red Planet.
The “sun rays” captured in the image are known as crepuscular rays, a name that comes from the Latin word for “twilight.”Curiosity’s most recent images build on its 2021 observations of noctilucent, or night-shining clouds. NASA says it examines the clouds found on Mars to better learn about the atmosphere’s composition and temperatures, as well as the winds within it.
