Here’s what a sunrise looks like from Mars – this panoramic art image was captured by NASA’s Curiosity spacecraft from the summit of Mt.

NASA has shared photographs of the surface of Mars for years. The terrain of the Red Planet is so steep and steep that it leaves anyone speechless. But never before has the Space Exploration Agency shared such an artistic photo as Curiosity’s last.

On November 16, Rover from NASA He reached the summit of Mount Sharp, according to the millennium. So the engineers controlling Curiosity programmed it to take two sets of images at 8:30 a.m. and 4:10 p.m. MST.

Curiosity takes black and white photos and periodically sends them to Earth in low-quality formats. However, “Watch the latest photos and are inspired by the beauty of the landscape.”NASA says, “They postponed their mission to capture the scene in a higher quality.”

They combined the two images with high quality and added color and the end result is the most artistic Mars postcard yet.

This combination provides contrast to the blues and oranges typical of sunrise and natural light Today on the red planet.

You can clearly see steep hills, wide sandy valleys and high mountain ranges in the distance.

On the right of the picture you can see the name of Mount Rafael Navarro And so in commemoration A famous scientist on the NASA team died earlier this year. Mount Sharp is in the center of the image. Same rover scale since 2014.

A mission that studies radiation to see if human life can adapt to Mars

Curiosity has been roaming the surface of Mars for nearly a decade on a very ambitious initial mission. This is to collect data on the radiation present so that NASA scientists can study the possibility that human life could one day colonize the planet.

Mars does not have a magnetic field like Earth’s, which protects humans from space radiation. Specifically, the ones that stars emit in their moments More crowded.

Since its launch in 2011 and landing a year later, its 16 navigational cameras provide a 360-degree view of the planet.

In addition to radiometric measurements, Curiosity collects and studies valuable samples of red earth to see how likely it was in past life on Mars.

The rover’s last missions consisted of taking photographs of changes in the landscape in the so-called Forvey Sands. What they are looking for is to know how to erode planet surface.

Curiosity is the fourth mission that the US Aerospace Exploration Agency has successfully sent to Mars, after Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity.

This year’s fifth and final successful mission was with the Perservance Rover. Its goal is to study rock formations and minerals for at least two years. technology development It allowed NASA to perfect its space robots.
