Mars’ Curiosity rover has been wandering around the plant taking images and observations of the Martian atmosphere. While it is thin, the rover has been able to capture numerous images of clouds. On February 2, Curiosity captured a rare sight with a photograph that for the first time captured crepuscular rays on Mars. Crepuscular rays on earth are common, with beams of light appearing below broken clouds that let the sun’s light shine through. The clouds in this picture on Mars are higher and are probably made of frozen carbon dioxide, according to NASA scientists.
