description = {{This artist's model includes current Mars along with a depiction of the ongoing diffuse aurora that MAVEN has detected. Mars no longer has a global magnetic field, but the Sun's particles tunnel into its atmosphere and interact with gases, producing a new kind of ultra-violet aurora across the planet.}}
