NASA rover detects electrical discharges - 'mini-lightning' - on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover has obtained evidence that the atmosphere of Mars is electrically active, detecting electrical discharges - what one scientist called "mini-lightning" - often associated with whirlwinds called dust devils that regularly saunter over the planet's surface.

I think these articles are great examples of science journalism—not all science is clear cut. Sometimes results are inconclusive. The mystery can dive us on to collect more data to figure things out. Much of being a scientist is not making breakthroughs, but wondering why that odd thing happened? 🧪🔭

The fourth and final test launch of the Soviet N1 super heavy-lift launch vehicle (N1 7L), carrying Soyuz 7K-LOK spacecraft and a mockup LK lunar module, took place #OTD in 1972. The engine cutoff caused propellant line hammering, rupturing the fuel system, and the rocket failed 107 s after liftoff.
