This\u00a0picture\u00a0been taken by\u00a0NASA’s Curiosity Rover\u00a0on the mission’s 956th Martian day (April 15, 2015).\u00a0The colour has been “calibrated and white-balanced to remove camera artifacts” according to NASA. The colours are thus similar to what a human would perceive, although we might see a bit more blue.<\/p>\n

How amazing is this!? NASA sent a vehicle to another planet that not only carries out research but\u00a0now sends us sunset pictures! 46 years after the first manned moon landing, 112 years after the Wright brothers’ first powered flight.<\/p>\n

Curiosity landed on Mars on\u00a0August 6, 2012, and has since dutifully carried out its mission. As every space traveller these days the Rover has its own\u00a0Twitter account<\/a>\u00a0and this funny parody account<\/a>.<\/p>\n
