I know I could look it up, but what fun is that?

One of the nicest sunset photos from Mars I have seen yet, to be sure.

Thanks for posting it. It has become my new PC Wallpaper. At least this way I can pretend I am on the Martian surface, as opposed to a windowless cubicle on a planet with way too much heat and humidity outside.
