just go to nasas site or its youtube channel. Everything you see from a news article from nasa they make public themselves. they don’t give places special sneak peaks or anything.
That is, at best, a longer term exposure of the sky than the eye will ever manage.
The night sky in Mars isn’t going to look significantly different from a dark sky on Earth. Get out to a dark sky and that’ll give you everything you’d get out of the Martian sky, except you’ll pitentially be able to see Mars up above rather than the Earth.
It would actually be a little different as the atmosphere isn’t there to absorb some wavelength, but the sentiment is there
Mars’ atmosphere has the same transparency window to visible light as Earth’s. The major difference between there and here is the amount of dust suspended in the air, which is highly variable and dependent on latitude and season. On average, it actually blocks more visible light than the dust and water in Earth’s atmosphere, but the effect is also independent of wavelength, at least in the visible spectrum.
So the sky might actually be a little dimmer than you’d see in dry, dark conditions on Earth.
I think NASA is a trustworthy source for space photography
Just because digitaltrends on whatever social media platform says in their post that the image is from NASA doesn’t mean it actually is.
Fair point. After digging around I’m not finding that image on the NASA website, so it could very well be fake
It’s a chunk of this: https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1242a/
It’s not NASA and not the night sky on Mars, let alone what you’d see. It’s not enough to say “don’t believe what you see in Instagram reels”, you should actively disbelieve what you see, especially since Facebook doesn’t give a shit about misinformation. They’d rather have engagement metrics.
I viscerally hate how gullible I am.
My wife’s always, “That’s probably not true,” and I’m believing EVERYTHING.
Grrrr.
No we aren’t. Fuck you.
