Planet Mars remains an endless source of discoveries for researchers around the world who are constantly searching for the secrets that are hidden at such a great distance from Earth. Today we are talking about the fact that on the planet Mars there are a series of strange auroras that researchers could not explain until now, but which now have a very clear explanation for those who follow the phenomenon on the celestial body with great attention .
A new interesting study done for the planet Mars has discovered that a certain type of aurora, called proton aurora, is visible most often in the sky there, so the first astronauts will see them without problems. The same study says that these auroras are formed on the planet Mars in much the same way as those on Earth, that is, when the solar winds interact with the atmosphere, which strengthens the similar points between the celestial bodies.
Planet Mars: Researchers Amazed by This INCREDIBLE Discovery
Planet Mars could have more of the secrets of its climate revealed after the very careful study of these auroras, and this because they could offer explanations regarding the desperation of water in the universe. According to the researchers, an aurora of protons is formed when the solar winds reach the hydrogen clouds on the planet Mars, the positively charged protons being neutralized by taking electrons from the hydrogen atoms in the atmosphere.
"Observations of proton auroras on Mars provide a unique insight into hydrogen and thus water loss from the planet. Through this research, we can gain a deeper understanding of the Sun's interactions with the upper atmosphere of Mars and similar bodies in our Solar System, or in another Solar System that does not have a global magnetic field."
These interactions emit light on the planet Mars, and since hydrogen clouds are partially made of water, during this interaction, part of it is released into the universe and does not reach the surface. The first auroras of this kind were observed by researchers on the planet Mars in 2016, so a short time ago, so that quite a few researches have been done regarding their existence on the red planet at this moment.
Planet Mars will have these spectacular phenomena further analyzed with great attention by astronomers, and probably at some point they will reveal more from the discoveries they make.
