Original Note:
Caption implies this is the first sunset taken from Mars. Incorrect. The first sunset picture was by NASA Viking 1 Lander in 1976, 48 yrs ago. (So many today, 'we', were not alive to witness it for first time.) The OP image is from Spirit Rover in 2005. https://www.planetary.org/space-images/viking-sunset https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/images/pia07997-a-moment-frozen-in-time
