    Mars, with its rust-hued surface, is known as the red planet for a reason.

    A recent photo from NASA, though, gives an idea of what our [celestial](https://www.usatoday.com/news/space/) neighbor would look like under skies that resemble our own. One of the U.S. space agency’s two rovers wandering the Martian iron oxide-infused surface recently pulled together a composite panoramic image of a region of the planet that, to viewers, may be reminiscent of an Earthly sunset.
