NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Unusual Plumes Above Mars” is copyrighted by W. Jaeschke. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Unusual plumes have been observed above Mars, reaching 200 kilometers into its atmosphere. These plumes were first noted by amateur astronomers in 2012 and have since been found in archived images from as far back as 1997. The cause of these high-altitude phenomena remains a mystery. They seem too high for dust and too long-lasting for aurora.
