Mars lightning detected: Scientists reveal shocking truth...
Nasa rovers have detected lightning on Mars. This groundbreaking discovery came from analysing dust storms. Scientists believe this could explain mysterious Martian radio bursts.
The Perseverance rover captured the event. It was during a massive dust storm in Jezero Crater. This marks the first direct detection of atmospheric electrical discharges on another planet.
Researchers from the European Space Agency also noted the phenomenon. They linked it to triboelectric discharges within dust particles. This changes everything we thought we knew about Martian weather!
The findings offer new insights into Mars' dynamic environment. This discovery could be key to understanding its atmospheric evolution. Future missions will likely focus on these electrical events.
