The individual images taken by Curiosity covered a period of about 6 minutes. The sequence of images was too intermittent to make smooth movie of the sunset on its own. Using the foreground and horizon from one image and then recreating the sky and Sun in Photoshop, Glen Nagle used Adobe Premier to create a near real-time sunset sequence as if you could stand on Mars and see it for yourself. With the addition of a little &#8216;lens flare&#8217; and the haunting music &#8216;Lux Aeterna&#8217; by Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti, this imagining of a sunset on Mars evokes a sense of awe and reverence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"photo_credit\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>NASA \/ JPL \/ MSSS \/ Glen Nagle<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via\u00a0 Emily Lakdawalla\u00a0comes this wonderful\u00a0view \u00a0(partly-real, party-simulated) of a sunset on Mars in true\u00a0time.
