Mystery Ozone Surge Discovered in Mars’s Winter Darkness
Unveiling Mars’s Harsh Winter Atmosphere New observations have shed rare light on Mars’s north polar vortex during its long, shadowed winter. Researchers studying the Red Planet’s atmosphere found that the conditions inside the vortex are far more extreme than those outside, with darkness enabling an unusual surge in ozone. The findings were presented at the…
