hundreds of auroras detected on mars

berkeley ca (spx) dec 13, 2005

auroras similar to earth's northern lights appear to be common on mars,
according to physicists at the university of california, berkeley, who have
analyzed six years' worth of data from the mars global surveyor.

the discovery of hundreds of auroras over the past six years comes as a
surprise, since mars does not have the global magnetic field that on earth is
the source of the aurora borealis and the antipodal aurora australis.
