Watch: NASA's InSight Lander Spacecraft Shows What Sunset Looks Like On Mars

Space is considered an infinite, three-dimensional area with relative positions and directions for events and objects. Over the years, NASA, which is a prominent space research organisation in the world, has come up with various evidence and inventions that have revealed images and videos of outer space and planets. Many satellites have been sent to these planets to analyse the structures and check whether humans can survive. There have been efforts put in by the space organisation to understand the composition of the planet Mars. It is the fourth planet from the sun. Now, some recent videos and images have shown sunsets happening on Mars.

According to reports, NASA has been at the forefront of sharing these pictures from outer space that come out to be fascinating to the world. NASA’s InSight lander spacecraft, which was sent to Mars in 2018, has shared images of sunrise and sunset on Mars with the world. This was all possible due to a camera that was installed on the robotic arm of the spacecraft. In the video, it can be seen that the InSight Lander spacecraft captured the sun setting down and darkness pleading over Mars. The viral video was uploaded on X by a page named @Latestinspace. They captioned the clip, “Sunset on Mars captured by NASA’s InSight lander.”

Apart from that, it has also been found that sunsets appear blue on Mars. This is because there is a lot of dust in its atmosphere. Sunsets on Mars are blue in the same way that our sky is blue and sunsets are red, all due to the scattering of sunlight on the molecules that make up the atmosphere. While appearing white, sunlight consists of many different wavelengths, which we recognise as different colours. However, the molecules and dust particles present in the atmosphere can show only certain wavelengths. This is the reason why everyone sees the same colours.
