NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) mission has captured breathtaking new ultraviolet images of Mars. These images, taken at different points along Mars’ orbit around the Sun, offer unprecedented insights into the planet’s atmosphere and surface features.
By using ultraviolet wavelengths, MAVEN scientists have unlocked a new perspective on the Martian landscape. The Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) instrument, a key component of the MAVEN mission, obtained these global views of Mars in 2022 and 2023, when the planet was positioned near opposite ends of its elliptical orbit.
