NASA's Perseverance rover, which has been exploring the surface of Mars since its landing in February 2021, has achieved a scientific milestone by observing an aurora in visible light on the Red Planet. The observation marks the first time that an aurora has been seen in visible wavelengths from the surface of any planet other than Earth. The event was characterized by a soft green glow in the Martian sky. Auroras, commonly known as 'northern lights' on Earth, are natural light displays caused by the interaction of charged particles from the solar wind with a planet's atmosphere. While auroras have been detected on Mars before, previous observations were made using ultraviolet instruments from orbiting spacecraft. The Perseverance rover's visible-light detection provides new insights into the Martian atmosphere and its interactions with solar radiation. This discovery may help scientists better understand atmospheric processes on Mars and the effects of solar activity on planetary environments. The observation was announced by NASA in Washington and is considered a significant step in planetary science, as it demonstrates the capability of surface-based instruments to capture atmospheric phenomena on other worlds. The Hubble Space Telescope has previously imaged Mars from space, but this is the first time such an event has been recorded from the Martian surface.
