Curiosity Mars Rover- Sun set

On its 956th sol (day) on Mars, the rover Curiosity used its MastCam to image a stunning sequence of the Sun (Sol) setting over the local horizon at Gale Crater, where it has been exploring since August 2012.

The individual images taken by Curiosity covered a period of about 6 minutes. The sequence however cannot make up a smooth movie of the sunset.

Using the foreground and horizon from one image and then recreating the sky and Sun in Photoshop, I have used Adobe Premier to create a near real-time sunset sequence as if you could stand on Mars and see it for yourself.

By no means perfect or accurate, but with the addition of a little 'lens flare' and the haunting music 'Lux Aeterna' by György Ligeti, this imagining of a sunset on Mars, I hope evokes a sense of awe and reverence.
