This is really cool to see. Almost expect to see Luke come up over the horizon in his speeder to find uncle owen fried like chicken. See it!

    :O Holy crap! That’s the most epic desktop image ever.

  3. Coconut

    The sun is seriously small from Mars…

  4. Thragmol

    Nasa also has an video version of sunset as well as video of a twister etc. Not that Im a regular on their site or watch all major launches through their TV channel. (tiny tiny screws)

    Looks kinda… dull… I mean it looks like a foggy morning.

    Don’t get me wrong it’s VERY cool to see the sunset of Mars.
    But it’s no planet I’d like to live on. *g*

  8. cameron

    that looks like it was taken on earth… we are almost to mars

    That pic’s been out for several months. It’s still very cool. I even photoshopped another sun in and posted it on my forums back in December.

    i don’t know, it’s just not as inspirational as a good sunset here on earth. i mean, i doubt that a poet or musician sitting on mars would have anything to write about …

    Well TheGremlin, there are no clouds there.

    But still facinating to see a sunset on a different planet. We’ve come such a long way from inventing the radio just over a century ago.

    Thanks Scott!

    It looks eerie and beautiful. It’s jarring to see a vast expanse of land where there are no living things. Not only are the pictures beautiful, but what they represent is as well: that we’ve sent a robotic vehicle with a camera to another planet with the ability to be controlled remotely from Earth, explore said planet, and take and send back pictures. Holy shit.

    Wow that’s awesome!
