Magnetosheath jets on Earth are plasma entities that have a higher dynamic pressure surrounding the plasma and can cause waves that transfer energy within such environments. Such jets also exist beyond Earth in the magnetosheath of Mars, as observed by Herbert Gunell and a research team at the Department of Physics, Umea University, and the Swedish Institute of Space Physics, in Sweden, by using the MAVEN spacecraft database. The team's results are now published in Science Advances.
