Lightning long ago escaped the bounds of Earth’s atmosphere—scientists have already discovered lightning blazing through the skies of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Now they think they’ve found it on ...

The single whistler event was recorded over a crustal magnetic field, at an altitude of 349 kilometers (217 miles) on the ...

While sifting through the extensive data collected by NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft over the last decade, scientists discovered a familiar type of electromagnetic ...

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

For decades, scientists treated Martian dust storms as mostly mechanical events, driven by wind and sunlight rather than crackling electricity. The first confirmed detection of tiny lightning-like ...

Did you know? Sound from another planet, the wind on Mars, has been recorded and made audible with the help of headphones and ...

NASA’s ESCAPADE mission studies how solar wind removed Mars’ atmosphere, using twin spacecraft to measure atmospheric escape, magnetosphere changes, and space weather impacts.

Mars may look calm and barren from afar, but beneath its quiet, dusty red surface lies a surprisingly dynamic atmosphere. Despite having an atmosphere less than 1% as dense as Earth's, the winds on ...

(CNN) NASA is promising another big Mars announcement on Thursday. The space agency will be delivering new findings on the Red Planet's atmosphere. NASA isn't divulging any information ahead of its ...

(NEW YORK) — Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its ...

If there ever was life on Mars—and that's a huge "if"—conditions during the planet's infancy most likely would have supported it, according to a study led by University of Arizona researchers. NASA's ...
