Mars’s Atmosphere Reveals ‘Zwan-Wolf’ Phenomenon for First Time

Scientists operating NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft have identified a novel atmospheric phenomenon on Mars, dubbed the ‘Zwan-Wolf’ effect. This phenomenon, previously observed only within Earth’s magnetosphere since its initial detection in 1976, is characterized by the compression of charged particles along magnetic flux tubes. The findings, detailed in a recent study, provide the first definitive evidence […]
