Загадочное свечение Марса в ультрафиолете показали на видеоScientists understand how the red planet circulate the winds at an altitude of 100 kilometers, clouds are formed and varies the amount of ozone.

NASA showed images of the planet Mars in the ultraviolet spectrum, which made the probe MAVEN.

Scientists have made hundreds of photos in better resolution than ever and created images from the video to follow the behavior of Mars.

Thus it was possible to understand how the red planet circulating winds at a height of 60-100 kilometers, clouds are formed and varies the amount of ozone over time.

The researchers drew attention to the unusual glow of the planet, which appears on its night side due to the chemical reaction occurring on the light side.

Sunlight destroys the molecules of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. After this, the atoms carried by the wind on the night side where they combine into a molecule of nitric oxide, and the excess energy forms glow.
