We have the original images M07-00166 (red) [9] and M07-00167 (blue), [10] part of the gallery of MOC Global-Map Images, Subphase M07. [11] The shadow is situated at roughly 14°N 236°W. [12] In this case the image start time is 20:13:04.69 UTC, the line integration time is 80.48 milliseconds, and the downtrack summing factor is 27. The shadow ...

Twilight lasts a long time after the Sun has set and before it rises, because of all the dust in Mars' atmosphere. At times, the Martian sky takes on a violet color, due to scattering of light by very small water ice particles in clouds.

While many saw the recent solar eclipse from the ground, NASA has put together a video showing what the event looked like from space.
The average duration of the day-night cycle on Mars — i.e., a Martian day — is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds, [3] equivalent to 1.02749125 Earth days. [4] The sidereal rotational period of Mars—its rotation compared to the fixed stars—is 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.66 seconds. [4]
