NASA witnesses the Sun “bombarding” Mars for the first time

NASA's MAVEN spacecraft has made the first direct observation of an "atmospheric eruption," the mechanism believed to have caused Mars to lose its water and atmosphere long ago.

The MAVEN spacecraft has just recorded the phenomenon of "atmospheric eruption" that scientists have suspected for decades. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

This is the process of high-energy particles from the solar wind shooting the Martian atmosphere out into space. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

For the first time, this mechanism has been directly observed instead of only existing in simulation theory. (Photo: Thanh Nien Viet)

Data shows that the rate of atmospheric loss is four times higher than predicted, surprising researchers. (Photo: NASA)

Without its protective magnetic field, Mars becomes a vulnerable target for solar storms. (Photo: Freepik)

The atmosphere is stripped away, water cannot exist, and life gradually has no chance. (Photo: The Tribune)

This discovery is a turning point in the journey to decipher the vivid past that may have existed on Mars. (Photo: The New Atlantis)
