Martian Polar Nights Will Glow Like Christmas Lights

#shorts #Mars #single oxygen atoms #summer atmosphere #green glow Scientists have discovered a new kind of glow on Mars. It’s called nightglow and it’s caused by oxygen atoms recombining in the atmosphere. The glow is bright enough to be seen from the ground, so future astronauts or robotic explorers might be able to use it to navigate their way around the Red Planet. Scientists are excited about the nightglow because it provides new insights into Mars’s atmosphere and how it interacts with sunlight and the solar wind. They’re also hoping that the nightglow will help them better understand how Mars’s atmosphere used to be denser before it was eroded away by the solar wind.
