Just this week, enthusiasts on famed reddish color of Mars got a special treat from NASA’s Curiosity rover as it has released a wonderfully beautiful Martian sunsets timelapse video that depicted a fullMartian day. These amazing clips show us what little is known about the geology and climatology of Mars, the rest of the information is fascinating and captivating.
The first shot in the timelapse is the Martian sunrise, with the real sun still no more than a faint pink line on the edge of the horizon as seen through the Curiosity rover’s cameras as it pans slowly over the rocky expanse and its complex of gears and wheels as the light changes subtly. During the day, there are several examples of cloud ‘movements’ in the Martian sky which gives a somewhat surreal feel to the footage.
Manufacturing and capturing Martian light: Curiosity’s cameras carefully chronicle the daily travel of the Sun in the martian sky then cre- ate beautiful designs of lights and shadows on the red planet. The scientific instruments mentioned on the Mars Rover are active even today, helping to study the chemical makeup of the atmosphere as well as the surface in order to offer the necessary information for future exploration and researches.
In the process of spectating the Martian space timelapse, Curiosity moves through the barren terrain of the red planet and spots multiple outcroppings of rock formations and geological formations, which may contain areas that scientists could explore in greater detail. Even though it is a disembodied vehicle, the rover goes on with its tours lasting long and revealing even more about Mars’ geography, atmosphere, and possibly past inhabitants.
Rather than just illustrate the engineering accomplishment of NASA’s rover missions, this timelapse also generates wonder and curiosity about the enigma of our sister planet. Aside from these, similar kinds of messages grow popular in the global society, encouraging more exploration and stirring people’s interest in the red planet as well as the secrets it holds.
