Beautiful ultraviolet surface of Mars from satellite images

Unprecedented images of ultraviolet light on the Martian atmosphere have just been sent from NASA's MAVEN spacecraft.

According to a statement by the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the MAVEN spacecraft has taken hundreds of photos of the red planet in recent months, bringing extremely sharp images to the surface ultraviolet rays of Mars.

Mars shines at night, a common phenomenon in the planet that emits nitrogen monoxide that makes the sky shine even when no outside light is shining on it.The night light of Mars is ultraviolet light beyond the visible spectrum with the naked eye.Therefore, NASA used different colors to express them.Here, white means high monoxide nitrogen emissions, black means low and blue is average.

Images taken during the day of Mars spring show that high ozone levels in the atmosphere in the southern hemisphere, are shown in purple.Ozone accumulates on the south pole in the winter on Mars and disappears when water vapor spreads to the poles of the planet.In fact, ozone gas is still present in the spring, suggesting that the wind blowing on Mars's surface has prevented the spread of steam.

The surface of Mars for 7 hours turned on July 9 and 10 with clouds formed quickly in the afternoon covering volcanoes.The dark spot near the top of the red planet is Olympus Mons, the highest volcano on Mars.

The MAVEN space probe launched on Mars in November 2013 arrived at the red planet in September 2014.MAVEN's main task is to study Mars's upper atmosphere, bringing information about the atmosphere, climate, water and possibly life on the planet.

On October 3, MAVEN completed scientific observations for one year on Mars, equivalent to nearly 2 years on Earth.Time for Mars to complete an orbit around the Sun, its astronomical year, is about 687 days on Earth.
