Perseverance Rover Captures First Visible-Light Martian Aurora

NASA's Perseverance rover has captured the first-ever visible-light aurora on Mars, a feat achieved through collaboration with the MAVEN orbiter and ground teams. By predicting a coronal mass ejection, they observed a 557.7 nm aurora within a narrow time window. This discovery provides valuable data for future human exploration and confirms the similarity to Earth's aurora, suggesting future astronauts may witness this phenomenon.
