Mars Odyssey Captures Stunning Views of Arsia Mons and its Cloud Cover

2025-06-10

NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter has captured breathtaking images of Arsia Mons, one of Mars' largest volcanoes, and its surrounding cloud formations. Twice as tall as Earth's Mauna Loa, Arsia Mons is particularly cloudy, especially when Mars is farthest from the sun. These clouds form as air rises and cools on the mountain's slopes, creating a distinct cloud belt across the equator. The images, taken by Odyssey's THEMIS camera, also reveal surface details including water ice distribution, crucial information for future Mars missions. This research enhances our understanding of Martian weather and dust storm formation.

Perseverance Rover Captures First Visible-Light Martian Aurora

2025-05-17

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.
