I wonder if Mars is like a "dead" planet. Just a giant rock in space or if down into its core is anything like the Earth? With layers of rock and then magma and then heated core or perhaps a frozen core.



It could be some sort of volcanic action spewing out and light reflecting off it. I am sure there are theories as to the cores makeup but who really knows?



I would guess more than likely something off planet reflecting the suns light otherwise we probably would have seen light emitting from the surface before now.



Does Mars have any type of atmosphere that could create a "falling star" type thing? meteorite burning up?
