Iridescence Reveals the Formation and Growth of Ice Aerosols in Martian Noctilucent Clouds
Abstract Water and carbon dioxide each form mesospheric clouds on Mars. At such altitudes (40–100 km), clouds may remain sunlit for part of the night. We describe a previously unreported, visually spectacular season of iridescent, noctilucent clouds visible in early southern autumn from the Curiosit...
