A lonely rover toiling among the sands of Mars has now answered an age-old question: If lightning crackles on the red planet and no one hears it, does it still make a sound? Crucially, the dusty ...

Electric discovery on Mars! Scientists find tiny lightning bolts coming from Red Planet dust clouds
Scientists have detected tiny lightning bolts on Mars for the first time — they were found discharging around NASA's Perseverance rover and coming from dust-storm fronts and whirling dust devils.
Mini-lightning strikes created by whirling dust devils on Mars have been detected accidentally by the microphone on board the Perseverance rover. The chance discovery is direct evidence of a form of ...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Scientists have detected what they believe to be lightning on Mars by eavesdropping on the whirling wind recorded by NASA's Perseverance rover. The crackling of electrical ...
The radio 'howl' of a lightning-like discharge has been detected at Mars for the first time. While orbiting the red planet, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft recorded an unusual electromagnetic signal back on ...
The leaves on trees can respond to thunderstorms overhead with tiny electrical discharges of their own, according to scientists at Penn State. The weak discharges, called corona, collectively generate ...
The study presents the first in-situ evidence of electrical activity in the Martian atmosphere, identifying 55 distinct triboelectric discharge events. These electrical discharges, unlike terrestrial ...
