Midnight Sun on Mars - Sol 54
|
Caption NASA:"This panorama mosaic of images was taken by the Surface Stereo Imager on board NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander. This mosaic documents the Midnight Sun during several days of the mission.
The foreground and sky images were taken on Sol 54, or the 54th Martian Day of the mission (July 20, 2008). The solar images were taken between 22:00 and 02:00 M.L.T., during the nights of Soles 46 to 56. During this period of 11 Soles, the Sun's path got slightly lower over the Northern Horizon, causing the lack of smoothness to the curve. This pan captures the polar nature of the Phoenix Mission in its similarity to time lapse pictures taken above the Arctic Circle on Earth".
