NASA MAVN mission scientists have found that certain types of

auroras on Mars form in a similar way. The Sun
15
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.920
has been active lately, with several sunspot groups dotting its surface.
16
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.599
Solar flares are possible over the next day or two.

For now. Aurora chances are moderate for those in far

northern latitudes. NASA's space weather trackers also note a burst
