How will the sun rise from its neighboring planet Mars? On the 14th (local time), NASA’s Insight spacecraft posted an interesting picture of a sunrise on Mars on Twitter, drawing attention.
If you look at the photo, it is the sun that pierces the gray sky with a dark ground as a background and gives out a small, round ‘face’. In the picture, this place is called Mars, but in fact, it is incredibly similar to any part of the Earth where the sun rises.
Insight tweeted, “I never get tired of sunrises on Mars. Every morning, the dot that rises above the distant sky gives me the energy to hear the roar beneath my feet,’ he personified himself.

Insight is different from the well-known robos such as Curiosity and Perseverance. InSight, launched in 2018, flew 480 million km and landed safely on Mars Elysium Planitia in November of the same year. Unlike other rovers such as Curiosity, which explore while moving on the surface, Insight is located here and looks inside Mars.
There have been many achievements in the past, but the most noteworthy was the capture of the Mars earthquake and aftershocks, which became the material for a new thesis. InSight, which is still peeling the skin of Mars, is named after the English acronym for ‘Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport’.
