Bill Nelson of the NASA team:
"We are looking at an incredibly small amount of sunlight — .002 percent of the normal sunlight that we would expect to see. If you were there, it would be late twilight. Your human eye would still be able to make out some features, but it would be very dark."
Thanks for sharing this, Tim. The photo, the name of the Mars rover, Opportunity, and the event combine to create something very poetic.
