On Mars, sunsets are blue.
The
sunsets we know are typically mellow yellow or fiery pink. But if we lived in
Mars, we'd witness blue sunsets, as seen in a series of images snapped by NASA's Curiosity rover in
2015. As Mark Lemmon, a scientist who worked on the
Curiosity team, explained to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, "The colors come from the fact that
the very fine dust is the right size so that blue light penetrates the
atmosphere slightly more efficiently."
