Viral Mars Sky Video Confirmed Fake

A video that went viral on social media claimed to show a huge, bright view of Mars in the sky.

Many people thought it was real, but scientists and experts say it's not.

The video was made by combining real pictures from Mars with fake or real pictures of Earth's night sky or computer-made stars.

Real pictures from Mars show a dusty, reddish sky with dim stars.

Mars never looks as big or bright as in the video, whether you're on Mars or looking at it from Earth.

Experts found mistakes in the video, like mismatched horizons and overlapping stars, which show it was edited.

They advise people to trust real sources for Mars pictures, which are interesting without being changed.
