Martian Sunset

[Rush]

Thought i would share this photograph taken by the Mars rover of a Martian sunset....quite awe-inspiring for me..

Compare it to an Earth sunset

Hopfuly one day man will see the sunset on mars for real.

If you like mars this is a photo which i took from my garden a couple of years ago.

Thanks Rush
Ive been mad on astronomy for about 25 years now i spend most of my nights looking up at the sky
This photo was taken with my meade 12" Lx200GPS telescope and a tou webcam but im more intrested in deep space imaging like Nebula, Galaxys and clusters.
the photo in my Avatar is also one i took
