Whoa, auroras of Mars captured in global view for the first time.
All the more curious as Mars has no cohesive magnetic field left and these are not only northern and southern lights a la earth, but discrete auroras in the form of equatorial lights, mid-latitude lights, eastern lights and western lights.
Road trip:
of how planet-wide processes can make a warm and wet world into a barren landscape.
By exploring and understanding Mars, we may gain
key insights into the past and future of our own world.
