Why isnt there pictures of mars at night and if there are where are they?

0

The night sky seen from Mars looks almost exactly like the night sky as seen from Earth. The stars will look exactly the same, because the Earth-Mars distance is not enough to produce any significant change in viewpoint with regard to stars light years away. Since the sky will be more or less the same it is not considered a worthwhile use of resources to photograph it. The rovers are there to study the Martian surface, not the sky, so they are not used when it is dark because they can’t photograph the surface.
