I never thought what the night sky on Mars would look like but now I really curious.
I imagine dark with fewer stars.
Why fewer? Wouldn’t lack of atmospheric interference allow the light from more stars to reach your eyes on Mars?
I think we’ve maybe failed as a society if a picture of Earth from Mars is on mildly interesting…
I actually think it’s a sign of success, at least in one realm. We’ve been taking pictures of Earth from Mars for decades now. That it’s a common enough thing that it could maybe be “mildly interesting” is an achievement.
I could see that, I just worry that leads to complacency rather than a broader interest. Of course we don’t have much history for this to grow from yet!
In order to fail, you first have to achieve something … and in terms of the wider universe and our planet … humanity has only just started
Does our atmosphere magnify things slightly? Seems brighter on Earth
probably just differences in cameras, lenses and exposure times
I too was initially wondering that. A comparison with a similar camera to that of the Mars rovers would be more interesting. We have much more capable cams here at home.
Pam: It’s the same picture.
Fuck, I think I blinked, can we do it again?
Is it possible to see Earth’s moon from Mars? Or would it be too small in a shot like this?
Somewhere out there someone’s saying a prayer
