Watch the sunrise from MARS: NASA's InSight rover takes incredible images of the sun rising and setting on the red planet

NASA's InSight lander has shown off its photography skills by taking pictures of the Mars horizon's sunrise and sunset with its robotic arm. The lander had taken some practice shots in March. According to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who operate the NASA mission, one version of each of these images comes in 'raw' form. The colour-corrected version looks an eerie blue colour, which is how humans would see the sunrises and sunsets on Mars.

The sun is about two-thirds the size that we see because it's further away from Mars than the Earth

NASA's InSight lander has captured stunning images of sunrise and sunset from the Martian surface. 

Stunning images taken from the Insight's robotic arm shows the Red Planet landscape and the sun rising and setting at the equivalent of 5:30 am and 6:30 pm Mars time.

The sun looks especially small because it's further away from Mars than the Earth so it is about two-thirds the size as seen on our planet.  

The Insight lander has been busy recently; just a handful of months into its exploratory mission on Mars it made a groundbreaking discovery after it detected for the first time a quake on Mars, or a 'Marsquake'.

NASA's stationary InSight lander has captured what sunrise and sunset looks like on Mars. Stunning images taken from the Insight's robotic arm shows the Red Planet landscape and the sun rising and setting at the equivalent of 5:30 am. and 6:30 pm Mars local time

 

According to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who operate the NASA mission, One version of each of these images comes in 'raw' form. The colour-corrected version looks an eerie blue colour, which is how humans would see the sunrises and sunsets on Mars

On the 145th Martian day of its scientific mission, InSight took two photographs of the horizon; one on April 24th, and another a few hours later on April 25th, in the Martian evening and morning.

According to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who operate the NASA mission, one version of each of these images comes in 'raw' form. 

The colour-corrected version looks an eerie blue colour, which is how humans would see the sunrises and sunsets on Mars. 

'With many of our primary imaging tasks complete, we decided to capture the sunrise and sunset as seen from another world,' said Justin Maki, InSight science team co-investigator and imaging lead at JPL in California. 

Taking pictures of Martian sunsets is somewhat a rite of passage for landers on Mars.

It goes back to the Viking 1 lander, which snapped a photo of a Martian sunset in August 1976. 

The sun looks especially small because it's further away from Mars than the Earth so it is about two-thirds the size that we see. The Insight lander has been busy of late; just a handful of months into its exploratory mission 

Viking 2 caught a sunrise in June 1978, and both events were also captured by the Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity rovers. 

'It's been a tradition for Mars missions to capture sunrises and sunsets,' said Doctor Maki in the NASA announcement.
