Earth’s summer solstice (the longest day of the year) was last Friday. Today is the Martian summer solstice. Mars has 668 Sols in its year, equivalent to 684 of Earth’s Days, but its moons don’t create separate seasons. New blog The Big Picture has some amazing landscapes of Mars, including a sunset, and a breathtaking view of Earth from there.
