Two Worlds, One Sun

Two Worlds, One Sun

October 20, 2023

I was watching Anton's latest video on Mars:

which had a number of interesting topics but the one that I thought was really interesting was this picture:

from this page: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200802.html

I never knew that the sunsets of Mars are blue in color. Anton explains why in the video. But Mars and Earth seem to be opposites in almost all respects, even sky color and sunset color.

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a cool site that I will have to start checking regularly:
