Sunset on Mars

While the world's attention is focused on the Phoenix lander's soil samples and we debate whether that really is ice under there or not, I would like to offer a time-out, and draw your attention to this stunning photo taken by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in 2005.
This is our Sun, setting as seen from Mars. I just love the light scattering in among the dust. How eerie would it be to witness such a scene?

Hey now that I think about it, this picture looks like a sunset from the east side of LA on a bad day.
I guess Joe Marco didn't like my joke. I'm only half joking.
