The night sky on Mars is probably worse on average than on Earth. Our
atmosphere hardly attenuates the stars at all (less than a magnitude at
sea level), but Mars often has a lot of dust in the air, which
definitely blocks them.

Being that Curiosity is nuclear powered, I would love to see a night
panorama of the amount of stars that would be visible in the dark thin
atmosphere.
