An uncanny Martian phenomenon observed by NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) probe and the United Arab Emirates' Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) is the new talk of the town. The two missions joined forces to study the ultraviolet proton aurora on Mars. New findings by the probes have finally shed light on what causes the patchy and dynamic aurora on Mars.
