Mars has gloomy weather so it was a surprise when NASA's Curiosity Rover captured sun rays shining through the clouds.
NASA’s Curiosity Rover Captures the First Images of Sun Rays on MarsNASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has captured images of sun rays shining through the clouds at sunset, the first time this type of light has ever been observed on the Red Planet.
Mars is known for being gloomy with the atmosphere often chocked up with dust so it’s rare to get visible sun rays shining over the Earth’s neighboring planet. The photo was taken on February 6, NASA says, and is the first time that the sun rays, also known as crepuscular rays, have been viewed so clearly.and it was taken as part of the rover’s twilight cloud survey.
The image was captured as a panorama, stitched together from 28 images and sent back to Earth. NASA says that the picture has been processed to emphasize the highlights,As I watched the sunset last month, I captured something spectacular: My team says these are some of the most clearly visible images of sun rays we've ever seen on Mars!
