On the Red Planet, aurorae glow green because the charged particles collide with oxygen atoms high above Mars. They may be bright enough that astronauts on Mars could spot them with their naked eye. Here on Earth, it’s usually helpful to have a telescope or even a phone camera filter to really see the aurora.

Mars may look quiet, but at night it comes alive in unexpected ways. NASA probes have detected strange pulses and glows that scientists are still struggling to explain.

This week, NASA said scientists took the biggest step yet toward discovering whether there was ever life on Mars when a rock sample collected by the Mars rover Perseverance contained potential biosignatures,

Planetary scientists believe they can now predict the green glow of an aurora in the night sky above Mars, and they have the images to prove it.

The James Webb Space Telescope's main goal is to detect faint light from distant galaxies, but it recently observed one of the brightest objects in the night sky: Mars. The space observatory captured its first images and data of the red planet on September 5.

Experts say NASA’s plan to set up a nuclear reactor on the moon could transform lunar exploration and marks a long-awaited step toward making human presence in space sustainable

Finding life beyond Earth would be a major scientific discovery with significant implications for all areas of science and human thought. Yet, only one direct search for extraterrestrial life has ever been conducted.
