Scientists have reported the first evidence of the presence of solitary waves or distinct electric field fluctuations in the Mars' magnetosphere. The study of these waves is crucial as they directly control particle energisation, plasma loss, transport etc. through wave-particle interactions. �� Scientists Report First Evidence of Solitary Waves in Mars’ Magnetosphere; Discovery May Decode Mystery Behind Ion Loss.

The Dh735m ($200m) Emirates Mars mission was launched in July 2020 from Tanegashima, Japan. The Hope spacecraft has been orbiting the Red Planet since February 9, 2021 and is currently the jewel in the UAE’s crown in terms of space activities. The mission’s three main objectives were to develop the science and technology sector in the emirates, develop UAE-scientific capabilities, and increase the country’s contribution to the global science community. Now, Hope’s Emirates Mars ultraviolet spectrometer (EMUS) has detected ‘patchy’ proton auroras, which were unexpected.

Meteorite analysis suggests that asteroid impacts may have brought Mars enough water to form a global ocean some 1,000 feet deep, and that some of that water may still be hidden away.

NASA's MAVEN mission spotted two different types of auroras glowing in ultraviolet light as charged particles riding the solar storm streamed into the Martian atmosphere.
