Capturing rare and elusive pictures of a tricky aurora on Mars through its Hope Probe, the UAE has once again demonstrated its commitment to the global scientific community in advancing the horizons of space exploration.
The images of a ghostly glow known as Mars’ Discrete Aurora, taken by Hope Probe’s Emirates Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer (EMUS), were released by the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) on Wednesday. As observed by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the high-quality images “open up unprecedented potential for the global science community to investigate solar interactions with Mars”.
