\n NASA\u2019s MAVEN spacecraft has spotted a pulsing ultraviolet light in the Martian night sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MAVEN team was surprised to find that the atmosphere pulsed exactly three times per night and only during Mars\u2019 spring and fall,\u201d explained NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in a statement. \u201cThe brightenings occur where vertical winds carry gases down to regions of higher density, speeding up the chemical reactions that create nitric oxide and power the ultraviolet glow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unexpected \u201cwaves and spirals\u201d were also spotted over Mars\u2019 winter poles. \u201cMAVEN\u2019s images offer our first global insights into atmospheric motions in Mars\u2019 middle atmosphere, a critical region where air currents carry gases between the lowest and highest layers,\u201d said Nick Schneider, of the University of Colorado\u2019s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, in the statement.<\/p>\n

The research is published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Space Physics.<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover recently launched on its epic mission to the Red Planet, a journey that is expected to take seven months. The rover is scheduled to land on Mars\u2019 Jezero Crater on Feb 18, 2021.<\/p>\n

The mission\u2019s duration on the Red Planet\u2019s surface is at least one Martian year or about 687 days.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the space agency\u2019s Curiosity Rover celebrated eight years on the surface of Mars.<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s long-term goal is to send a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s. However, former astronaut Buzz Aldrin thinks a slightly later target date, 2040, is more realistic.<\/p>\n

In an interview in 2016, the Gemini 12 and Apollo 11 astronaut told Fox News that he believed astronauts could visit Mars\u2019 moon Phobos by 2040, which could serve as a stepping stone to the Red Planet.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
