the Rover Curiosity landed on the red planet on 6 August 2012, almost three years ago. During this time he managed to send back hundreds of unique images, but due to the large number of mountains he never was able to capture the sunset. However 956-nd Sol ( Martian day is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35,24409 seconds) in the lens powerful camera Mastcam and got this alien phenomenon.

the Sunset was filmed back on April 15 in the Gale crater, but the pictures became available to the public only now. As noted by NASA, to remove some of the defects of the photos have been processed, and if the person was on Mars, you would have seen a sunset about in this color.

Curiosity is the third Mars Rover launched by NASA in the framework of Mars Science Laboratory. At the end of 2010, the Opportunity photographed blue sunset red planet on video.
