SOL3724-27338_PIA25740-web.jpgIcy Feather - Sol 3724112 visiteNASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured this feather-shaped iridescent cloud just after sunset on Jan. 27, 2023, the 3,724th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Studying the colors in iridescent clouds tells scientists something about particle size within the clouds and how they grow over time.
These clouds were captured as part of a follow-on imaging campaign to study noctilucent, or "night-shining" clouds, which started in 2021. While most Martian clouds hover no more than 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the ground and are composed of water ice, these clouds appear to be higher in elevation, where it’s very cold. That suggests these clouds are made of carbon dioxide, or dry ice.
This scene is made up of 28 individual images captured by the rover’s Mast Camera, or Mastcam. The images have been processed to emphasize the highlights.MareKromium

SOL3730-27337_PIA25739-web.jpgMartian Twilight - Sol 3730125 visiteNASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover captured these "Sun Rays" shining through clouds at sunset on Feb. 2, 2023, the 3,730th Martian Day, or Sol, of the mission. It was the first time that sun rays, also known as crepuscular rays, have been viewed so clearly on Mars. Crepuscular is taken from the Latin word for “Twilight,†as these rays appear near Sunset or Sunrise.

Ce ne sarebbe anche una quarta, ma Ve la risparmio...MareKromium
