Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...
After a yearslong series of setbacks, NASA’s Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, or ESCAPADE, mission has ...
Did Mars once have a full magnetic field in its ancient past like Earth does today, or was it lopsided and only covered one-half of the planet? This is what a recent study published in Geophysical ...
The radio 'howl' of a lightning-like discharge has been detected at Mars for the first time. While orbiting the red planet, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft recorded an unusual electromagnetic signal back on ...
Researchers have identified powerful Martian electrical discharges, similar to lightning, and strong enough to be observed from orbit.

ESA orbiters witness powerful solar superstorm hitting Mars
Earth and Mars showed very different responses to the same solar storm.
First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its ...
Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
