NASA's Perseverance rover has just captured proof of lightning in Mars, which appears to spawn in the whirlwinds that roam its surface.

NASA has lost contact with its MAVEN spacecraft that has been orbiting Mars for more than a decade. Here's what we know.

MAVEN is therefore pretty important to ongoing Mars operations, and working out why it dropped out of communication may help ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has for the first time helped scientists confirm that electrical sparks often ignite within swirling mini-twisters on Mars.

Of course, everything on Mars has to be different from Earth — not even the thunder can sound like thunder. Instead, these tiny bits of lightning give off sounds more like those that people associate ...

After reaching Mars with the Perseverance rover in early 2021, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter proved a huge success as it ...

This paper presents Enhanced Autonomous Navigation, or ENav, the autonomous driving algorithm of NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance. A unique challenge for the autonomous driving of Perseverance is to ...

Scientists have detected tiny lightning bolts on Mars for the first time — they were found discharging around NASA's ...

The Sun is covered in dark patches bigger than Earth. A powerful flare has already erupted, with more likely coming.

In a significant breakthrough, NASA's Perseverance rover detected electrical activity in Mars' atmosphere for the first time. The finding is crucial as it implies that a lightning event is very much ...

NASA has drafted its Mars rover Perseverance to help monitor the sun’s activity. Every day for the next two months, the rover will image the sun with its Mastcam-Z cameras, capturing crucial ...
