Mars Dust Devils May Spark Lightning, Might Pose Risks to Rovers: Study
A new computer-modeling study reveals that dust devils on Mars—swirling columns of dust and air—may become electrically charged enough to spark lightning-like discharges. Led by researcher Varun Sheel, the study simulates how dry Martian conditions and frictional collisions between dust grains can generate strong electric fields inside these vo...

China to Build Lunar Base at the South Pole by 2035, Unveiling Ambitious Two-Phase Plan
China is set to build a lunar base at the moon's south pole by 2035, with the project rolling out in two phases. The first phase will conclude by 2035, while a more comprehensive model is expected by 2050. The base will utilise solar, radioisotope, and nuclear generators for power, along with advanced communication networks. Lunar vehicles, includi...
