Nice Martian sunset

Thought this was pretty cool. It's off Wiki.

That is a very nice image.. they need an atmosphere though, don't you reckon? It would give it some more colour :)

Before i look in this topic, i thought it going to be run similar to ours. Now it it look like our halo sunset. How come it different?

Hmmm... terraforming would take care of that little atmosphere problem, eh? ;) Oh, that I could live long enough to see it!

That is really "unearthly" :)

I'm sitting here looking at it trying to relate it to anything I've seen on this planet. The only thing I can think of is the sun rising through a distant fog but the fog is only near the horizon, yet rises a long way into the sky.

Awesome shot.
