Scientists Catch Mars Glowing Green

The European Space Agency's ExoMars probe spotted the Red Planet glowing green at night.
This green glow is caused by oxygen molecules splitting apart and regrouping, creating a nightglow about 30 miles above Mars's surface.
Both Earth and Mars have airglow effects, but Mars's nightglow phenomenon had only been observed in daylight until now. [ more ]
