Summary

Description
English: Sunset on Mars as imaged by Mars Pathfinder.

This is a close-up of the sunset on Sol 24 as seen by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder. The red sky in the background and the blue around the Sun are approximately as they would appear to the human eye. The color of the Sun itself is not correct — the Sun was overexposed in each of the 3 color images that were used to make this picture. The true color of the Sun itself may be near white or slightly bluish.

Mars Pathfinder is the second in NASA's Discovery program of low-cost spacecraft with highly focused science goals. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, developed and manages the Mars Pathfinder mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) was developed by the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory under contract to JPL. Peter Smith is the Principal Investigator.
Русский: Закат на Марсе на 24 солнечный день, комбинированное изображение из 3 снимков камеры станции Mars Pathfinder. Основной красный цвет неба и синий вокруг Солнца показаны примерно такими, как они виделись бы человеческим глазом, тогда как цвет самого Солнца не совсем корректен из-за передержки - настоящий цвет был бы практически белым или слегка голубоватым. Небо возле Солнца кажется синим не из-за облаков водяного льда, а из-за пыли в атмосфере: она обычно поглощает синие частоты, из-за чего небо кажется красным, но также и рассеивает их часть непосредственно рядом с Солнцем из-за его небольшого видимого размера, причём этот эффект проявляется только на закате или рассвете, когда свет проходит через наиболее толстый слой атмосферной пыли.
