Astronauts on 'red' Mars may witness green sky, reveals study
Researchers using the European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter have observed a green luminescence in the atmosphere of Mars for the first time. This phenomenon, known as airglow, occurs when oxygen atoms combine to form an oxygen molecule. The discovery could have implications for future missions to Mars, as the intensity of the night glow could be observed by astronauts or future cameras in orbit. The ongoing examination of Mars' atmosphere will provide valuable insights into its composition and dynamics.
