Martian dust devils found to generate electrical sparks
Paris, France (SPX) Nov 27, 2025
Electric discharges have been detected inside dust devils and dust storms on Mars for the first time, using sound recordings from the SuperCam microphone on NASAs Perseverance rover. Scientists from CNRS, Universite de Toulouse and Observatoire de Paris PSL analysed these signals and identified them as the acoustic and electromagnetic signatures of electrical activity within Martian dust events.
