What scientific benefit comes from this use of expensive hardware sent to study MArs?

Social Science - what Martians see of the heavens?

They look so insignificant compared to the stars you can see at night in a rural area.

Plus I can’t see any people on it :)

"Image analysts combined separate exposures of Earth and the moon for clarity and brightness, then combined the results into a single image. The moon appears darker than Earth, so a single exposure set to resolve Earth would result in a much dimmer moon."

Fake Science then....

Tangential thought:

Imagine a developing sentient species that originated & lives on the far side of the Moon.
As their spheroid rotates, they’d see the universe swirling by, and over time deduce that they revolve around the Sun. They may observe other planets, and work out the concept of a sun-centric solar system. This goes on for a very long time.
Then one day, an intrepid explorer takes an unusually long journey. As he (it?) travels, an incredibly bright & noisy (in the electromagnetic spectrum) orb rises over the horizon. Imagine the shock of discovering that your planetary body is in permanent orbit around a larger & populated body just light-minutes away ... and you’re the first of your sentient species to discover it.
