About
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover captured this series of images of sunspots – regions where solar flares erupt on the Sun's surface – using its Mastcam-Z cameras between May 8 and 20, 2024 (the 1,144th and 1156th Martian days, or sols, of the mission). These flares sent charged particles toward Mars, where several NASA spacecraft were able to study them. The Perseverance mission frequently uses Mastcam-Z to capture images of the Sun to help scientists assess how much dust is in the atmosphere, because airborne dust affects the brightness of the Sun. Inadvertently, the camera can also capture sunspots, which are relatively cool areas of the Sun with intense magnetic fields. Arizona State Univer — NASA JPL · 2024.
