An amazing picture from the red planet. Ironically, it was taken by NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in 2005 and is unrelated to the current Phoenix Mars Lander mission.
You can get lost for days in NASA’s image gallery site.

So that’s what the Sun looks like from Mars? Darn I bet it’s cold there! 🙂
Thanks, Ed. A keeper for sure. I also have a 1994 polar orbiter satellite visible spectrum view of an annular eclipse shadow over the SW US and Midwest US. My first effort at capturing an image from a NOAA bird and the then new Internet. (new to me, anyway)
I love stuff like this. It’s a reminder that the universe is about a lot more than what we had for lunch yesterday or who to vote for in November.
