Lightning-generated waves detected at Mars. [PDF]
Sci AdvAlthough lightning activity has been confirmed on Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune through the detection of lightning-generated electromagnetic waves, its occurrence on Venus and Mars remains unclear. Here, we report observations of such a frequency-dispersed whistler detected in the ionosphere of Mars by NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft.
