The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Mars probe has captured never-before-imaged pictures of auroras around the Red Planet and the country’s space agency shared those photographs. “These three images of atomic oxygen emission at a wavelength of 103.4 nm from the planet Mars were obtained by the Emirates Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer instrument on 22 April, 23 April, and 06 May 2021 respectively. The full set of data collected during these observations include far and extreme ultraviolet auroral emissions which have never been imaged before at Mars,” the Emirates Mars Mission said on June 30.
