‘Mini-sonic booms’ on Mars: Nasa rover records electric sparks in dust devils — watch
Nasa’s Perseverance rover has confirmed a decades-old scientific hunch: tiny electric discharges, essentially miniature sparks, crackle inside Martian dust devils and during regional dust storms. The findings, published in Nature and detailed in Nasa’s article “Nasa Rover Detects Electric Sparks in Mars Dust Devils, Storms”, could reshape understanding of the Red Planet’s atmospheric chemistry, climate…
