Mysterious magnetic pulses and signs of groundwater discovered on Mars

The magnetic field events at night are among preliminary findings from NASA's InSight mission on Mars. It also found an electrically conductive layer almost 62 miles below the red planet's surface which hints at a reservoir of liquid water, according to a report.

The magnetic field of Mars at times tends to pulsate in ways which have never been observed before in the middle of the night. But, the reason behind this is currently not known. This is among the preliminary findings of NASA’s InSight lander, the National Geographic reported.
