Just to briefly distract you all from Pluto ... for once, and for a limited time, Solar images haven't been only for watching weather on Mars. MSL has been sunspot watching, and a couple of the active regions have become coronal mass ejections before the active areas came around to the side of the Sun Earth can see.

Cool. smile.gif This is a bonus application that never occurred to me; what a smart use of resources!

I animated the relevant Mastcam color images from the PDS, resulting in three GIF views of the Martian sunset observed by Curiosity rover on Sol 956:

Pretty sure that's Deimos (way too small). Very nice though!

Of course it is Deimos. I don't know what I was thinking about when I wrote the post. Thanks for the correction!

Back to the Sol 956 sunset for a moment.

Something I've been working on for a bit of fun... a near real-time sunset sequence based on those images.

Enjoy the animation smile.gif Youtube link.

NB: Sky and Sun are synthetic. Don't consider this accurate in any way.



Had some fun with your animation given the forthcoming movie, feel free to share:)

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured this view of Earth as a moving point of light in Mar's night sky about 80 minutes after sunset on the 529th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (31st January 2014). The distance between Earth and Mars when Curiosity took the photo was about 160 million kilometers (99 million miles).

New Earth & Venus (& Mars) picture (release) from Curiosity on sol 2784. Also about 80 minutes after sunset, but lots more high-altitude dust.

Sol 3071 : the Curiosity rover saw Mars' biggest satellite, Phobos, in the Martian night sky.
The size of Phobos from Mars is about 1/3rd that of the Moon as seen from Earth.
Here is the image taken in natural color and well processed.
The big crater Stickney is seen at the bottom of the disk, and the south polar crater Hall is at right close to the terminator. Enjoy smile.gif

On Sol 3215, Deimos, Mars' smallest satellite, was imaged by the MAHLI camera:

Also enlarged and processed. Enjoy smile.gif

That's not Deimos but Phobos, Olivier. See this post by Abigail Fraeman, Curiosity rover Deputy Scientist.

Thank you very much Neo56 for pointing this info smile.gif This moon looked so little with a surface very smooth wink.gif
