NASA's spacecraft captures ultraviolet Mars| Photo: NASAThe MAVEN spacecraft captured a unique shade of Mars. For the first time, the red planet is seen in a beautiful hue of ultraviolets. In the images, Earth's neighbour is seen changing its attributes as the Red planet undergoes a seasonal change. The ultraviolet shades of Mars were captured during the summer season of the southern hemisphere when Mars was closest to the sun. However, due to the longer Martian year, the seasons on Mars are approximately twice as long as those on Earth.
