A green glow in the Martian night
Summary by Ground News
A visible nightglow has been detected in the martian atmosphere by ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. Under clear skies, the glow could be bright enough for humans to see by and for rovers to navigate in the dark nights. Nightglow is also observed on Earth, but it is not to be confused with auroras.
