NASA'S MARS EXPLORATION ROVER SPIRIT CAPTURES MARS SUNSET

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit captured this view of the Sun setting below the rim of Gusev crater on Mars on May 19, 2005. This Panoramic Camera (Pancam) mosaic was taken around 6:07 in the evening of the rover's 489th Martian day. This small panorama of the western sky was obtained using Pancam's 750-nanometer, 530-nanometer and 430-nanometer color filters. This filter combination allows false color images to be generated that are similar to what a human would see.
