TANAMI, Australia- A massive dust storm rapidly engulfed the Granites gold mine camp in Tanami, Northern Territory, Australia, on Nov. 30, shocking workers as Flynn Kleis captured it all on film ...

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 ...

While sifting through the extensive data collected by NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft over ...

Researchers have identified powerful Martian electrical discharges, similar to lightning, and strong enough to be observed from orbit.

Sifting through 180,000 observations, the team found a single event. We may have detected a whistler wave on the Red Planet.

Sometimes you get a small electric shock from touching your car door handle on a dry summer's day. The source of these shocks is a spark discharge, occurring between your body and the body of the car.

For decades, planetary scientists looked at the massive dust storms on Mars and wondered if they produced electricity. These storms can grow until they wrap around the entire planet, moving millions ...
