Scientists have made the first direct detection of atmospheric sputtering on Mars using data from NASA's MAVEN probe. This process, where solar wind ions knock atmospheric particles into space, is believed to be a major driver of Mars' transition to a cold, dry planet due to Mars' lack of a planet-wide magnetic field. Researchers observed variations in argon densities at high altitudes correlating with solar activity, indicating ongoing sputtering. This finding supports theories that sputtering has significantly contributed to water loss on Mars over billions of years, especially when the young sun emitted more intense ultraviolet light.
