This illustration is a composite that creatively combines two previously
released images from Mars Pathfinder for a sunset scene in Ares Valles in
July 1997. The combined images are PIA01547 for the sky, and a portion of
PIA01466 for the terrain. The sky image is a radiometrically correct,
true-color sunset, with the sky near the Sun a pale blue color. The
terrain image has been artistically adjusted to match the approximate
time of day of the sky image (4:10 p.m. local solar time at the landing
site) and to provide a seamless horizon. The two source images are
composites of several frames from the Imager for Mars Pathfinder camera.
Additional information is available in the captions for the original
images.
