The stunning observations could help scientists better understand the atmosphere of Mars and how auroras on the red planet differ from similar light shows that are visible on Earth.
A spacecraft around Mars has captured the clearest views yet of alien auroras on the red planet., which arrived at Mars in early February, spotted the scattered glow of auroras in the Martian night sky. occur when charged particles from space interact with atoms in the atmosphere, energizing them and causing them to glow. On Earth, this plays out as the northern and southern lights.
Remnants of Mars' magnetic field are essentially locked into these minerals, which are scattered around the planet, Deighan added. Scientists are keen to study auroras on Mars because they not only reveal properties of the planet's atmosphere but can solve other mysteries of the solar system."It plays into these big-picture questions about how planets interact with their star," Deighan said. "How does energy from the sun affect the upper atmosphere of planets?"
