APOD 3.3

I chose the APOD from March 2. This APOD is titled Martian Sunset. I chose this Astronomy Picture of the day, because of the title. As the title suggests this image depicts the sun setting on the planet of Mars. The dust particles create a bluish glow around the setting sun. A martian rover named Spirit took this picture. It offers a unique perspective of our solar system. The Gustev Crater is visible. The sun appears smaller and less bright, because Mars is farther away.
