Perseverance Captures a 1.2-Mile-High Dust Devil Whirling Across Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover identified a dust devil while exploring the Jezero Crater on Mars.
Utilizing images taken by one of the rover’s Navigation Cameras (NavCams), a video was created (viewable below), comprising 21 frames captured at four-second intervals and accelerated by 20 times.
Resembling brief whirlwinds on Earth, these vertical wind columns emerge when pockets of hot air near the Martian surface swiftly ascend through the cooler air layers above.
The study of these phenomena aims to enhance scientists’ understanding of Mars’ atmosphere and refine their weather modeling capabilities, Science Alert reported.
