Martian sunset

Earlier, I was looking at pictures of sunsets, and was impressed by this image of a sunset on Mars taken by the rover Spirit:

I think it is a spectacular image: although it is over six years old, I do not recall seeing a picture of a Martian sunset before.

    Wow, that's amazing. :) I love astronomy. This morning before I left for the bus stop, the stars were shining brightly and it left me so speechless.

    We had a clear night last night, and the stars and at least one planet were easily visible. :)
