Researchers have documented 55 instances of "mini lightning" over two Martian years by eavesdropping on the whirling wind recorded by NASA's Perseverance rover.

A NASA rover that launched from Florida detected electrical sparks igniting within small dusty tornadoes whirling on Mars' ...

For the first time, we can see and hear lightning-like discharges in Mars' thin atmosphere.

On a cold, thin-aired world where sound barely carries, a NASA rover has picked up something that should not be possible: the ...

A NASA rover ambling over the red desert planet for the past four years has been recording audio of Mars. In this alien world 156 million miles away in space, even the everyday whispers of wind and ...

Acoustic signals have been important markers during NASA's Mars missions. Measurements of sound can provide information both ...

The discovery was made by analysing sounds from the atmosphere of the red planet obtained by the Perseverance rover.

Microphone recordings from NASA's Perseverance rover have turned up more than 50 instances of lightning on the red planet over the past four years, a new study finds.

Scientists believe it's unlikely the first person to plant a flag on the red planet would be stuck by lightning.

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 ...

You’ve probably heard astronauts talking to mission control while they perform operations in space. In these recordings, you can hear the back-and-forth chatter, along with the astronaut’s breathing ...
