<prompt> Fingqa isihloko: Kungenzeka ukuthi uMhlaba uye waba ufakazi wemibono emangalisayo ye - aurora, kodwa ayilutho uma iqhathaniswa nalokho okungabonakala eMars. Ngenxa yokuthi iMars inomkhathi omncane kakhulu, izinhlayiya zelanga ezinamandla ziyishaya ngokuqondile futhi zingene zijule ngokwengeziwe, zenze imibukiso yokukhanya ekhazimula ngokumangalisayo. Futhi ukuziphatha kwabo akulandeli ngaso sonke isikhathi imithetho ekhona. Ososayensi be-NASA basanda kumangala lapho bethola i-aurora efinyelela ekujuleni komkhathi we-Mars. Umdwebo womculi we-Mavens Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph IUVS obheka i-Christmas Lights Aurora eMars. Ukuhlola okwenziwa yi - Maven kubonisa ukuthi i - aurora eMars iyafana ne - Northern Lights yoMhlaba kodwa ingena ekujuleni komkhathi. Umhlaba unesivikelo sikagesi, esaziwa ngokuthi i - magnetosphere, esivikela umkhathi emisebeni yelanga. I-Aurora yenzeka eMhlabeni ngoba ezinye izinhlayiya zelanga ezinamandla ziye zakwazi ukugqobhoza lesi sivikelo. Nokho, iMars inomkhathi omncane kakhulu. I-magnetosphere yayo yalahleka eminyakeni eyizigidigidi edlule yaphenduka izwe elake laba namanzi laba iplanethi eyinyumba esiyibona namuhla. Lapho izinhlayiya zelanga zishaya iplanethi ebomvu, zingashaya umoya-mpilo ngokuqondile futhi zingene zijule ngokwengeziwe zenza imibukiso yokukhanya ekhazimula ngokumangalisayo. I-Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph IUVS kaMaven nayo yabona lokho ososayensi abaye bakubiza ngokuthi izibani zikaKhisimusi. Kwaphela izinsuku ezinhlanu ngaphambi nje kuka-December 25, iMaven yabona ukukhanya okukhanyayo kwe-ultraviolet emkhathini ohlangothini olusenyakatho yeMars. Ama-aurora, emhlabeni aziwa ngokuthi izibani zasenyakatho noma eziseningizimu, abangelwa izinhlayiya ezinamandla njengama-electron ezishayisana nomkhathi futhi zibangele igesi ukuba ikhanye. Okumangaza ngokukhethekile nge-aurora esiyibonile ukuthi ivela ekujuleni kangakanani emkhathini - ekujuleni kakhulu kunasemhlabeni noma kwenye indawo eMars, kusho u-Arnaud Stiepen, oyilungu leqembu le-IUVS e-University of Colorado. Ama-electron awukhiqizayo kumelwe abe namandla ngempela. Umthombo wezinhlayiyana ezinamandla kubonakala sengathi yilanga. Ithuluzi leMaven leSolar Energetic Particle lithole ukwanda okukhulu kwama-electron anamandla ekuqaleni...  <response>: I-Maven probe ithole ukukhanya kwe-auroral ultraviolet enyakatho nenkabazwe. Okwakumangaza ukuthi i-aurora yavela ngokujulile kangakanani emkhathini. Kutholakale futhi uthuli olungaba amakhilomitha angu - 300 ngaphezu komhlaba wale planethi. Ayikho inqubo eyaziwayo eMars engachaza ukuvela kwamafu othuli.
