We ’ve meet photos ofMartiansunsetsbefore , but nothing quite as spectacular as these .
Why are Martian sunsets gloomy ?
Long before Curiosity landed on Mars , the prognosis of color photos made me stargaze . I guess the wondrous pictures we ’d get of Martian sunsets and dawning . They lastly arrive on April 15 , 2015 — a three year hold . We waited that long before the squad in charge of the missionary work dare to direct Curiosity ’s powerful MASTCAM towards a sundown . And I have to say , the unexampled images are gorgeous !
Theses image come in pitch-black and white , with aBayer intercellular substance . I had to process them through Gimp and G’MIC for rebuild the colors . A little processing in Pixelmator alowed me to remove ugly white stripes due to pixel overloading . A little bit of denoising to absent Bayer matrix artifacts , et voilà !
