Recently I was looking at the APOD titled "Two Worlds One Sun". This is amazing because the picture on the left shows the sunset from Earth while the picture on the right shows the sunset from Mars. Just by looking at it one can tell that the sun looks smaller from mars. However this is expected because Mars is 50% further away from the sun than Earth. Something surprising in the picture is the fact that the martian sunset appears blue. Although no one is entirely sure why this happens many speculate that it has to do with the Martian Dust. The rover Curiosity captured the sunset at Mars about a month ago near the Gale crater.
ALiens!!!
