Nasa has published a brand new ‘postcard’ picture of a sand ridge on Mars.
The new shots were taken by the agency’s rover, Curiosity Mars, while it was parked at a sandy geographical feature nicknamed ‘Chocolatal’.
The pair of photos were captured at 9.56am on August 29 and 5.39pm on September 2 – Mars time – and were merged together after being sent back to Earth, creating a larger landscape shot showing morning and evening on the Red Planet.
Colour was added to the picture to bring it to life, with the blue on the right side representing morning, while the yellow on the left depicts sunset.
