Astronomers have reported an incredible new observation: Mars not only has the bizarre proton aurorae that have been detected from orbit, it also has green aurorae like those here on Earth ...

The green spots that can be seen in Perseverance's new image are also common in red rocks on Earth, and are formed when liquid water seeps through sediment before hardening into rock.

First aurora photo from Mars shows green glow in the sky Mars doesn't have an organized planetary magnetic field like Earth, so auroras can appear anywhere in the sky. Now there's a photo of one.

Mysterious green spots hidden in Martian rock indicate past interaction with liquid water. NASA's Perseverance rover is approaching four years of activity on the Martian surface — and all this ...

Something new for the Martian tourist brochures: You might get to see auroras. In March 2024, for the first time, scientists observed a visible green aurora on Mars.

The aurora appeared on Mars on March 18, 2024, three days after the solar storm took place. “Auroras are the visible manifestations of how our Sun affects planetary atmospheres,” Knutsen said.

The concept of terraforming Mars — transforming the planet's climate to support life as we know it — has long belonged to the realm of science fiction. But a new study argues that it's time to ...

When those particles reached the planet, they triggered a rare aurora in Mars's upper atmosphere. Unlike past detections of Martian auroras, which appeared only in ultraviolet light and required ...

First Visible Aurora Spotted Over Mars: A serendipitous solar outburst let scientists point the NASA Rover’s cameras toward the Red Planet’s sky to spot a feature shared with Earth.

“For the first time ever, visible aurora has been observed on Mars. It was observed using two instruments on the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, the SuperCam spectrometer and the Mastcam-Z camera ...
