Astronomy Picture of the Day——傍晚的火星
Late Afternoon on Mars

Explanation: Shadows grow long near sunset in this wide panoramic view from the Curiosity rover on Mars. Made with Curiosity's navcam, the scene covers about 200 degrees from north through east to south, stitched together from frames taken by the Mars rover on December 16. Curiosity is perched on top of a plateau on Western Butte. The distant northern rim of Gale crater is visible along the left. Near center is Central Butte, already visited by Curiosity. On the right, the shadow of the rover seems to stretch toward the base of Aeolis Mons , a future destination. The monochrome navcam frames have been colorized to approximate the colors of the late martian afternoon.
火星的傍晚
在这幅由好奇号火星探测车拍摄的全景照片中,呈现出日落时影子逐渐变长的好奇号。它拍摄于12月16日,由许多照片组合而成,它覆盖了从北到南大约200度的天区。图像左侧可以看到遥远的盖尔环形山,图像中心的是中央山丘,那里已被好奇号造访过了,图像右侧可见探测车的阴影似乎朝着未来目的地——夏普山的山脚延伸。这幅单色照片经过着色处理,更接近火星傍晚时的颜色。
