Mars - Viking 1 Lander
Sunset at the Viking 1 Lander site
Viking 1 Lander image of a martian sunset over Chryse Planitia.
In this image the sun is 2 degrees below the local horizon.
The banding in the sky is an artifact produced by the incremental
brightness levels of the camera. This image was taken on the
30th martian day (sol) after touchdown, at 19:13 local time.
The camera is pointing towards the southwest.
