Dust devil footage from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter


Recommended Posts

Earth isn't the only planet with weather as many on this forum are aware. Mars gets all sorts of weather, including snow, cyclones, and dust devils. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) got a great shot of a dust devil on Amazonis Planitia, and they used the imagery to make a simulation of what it would look like in person! Certainly the best storm chasing footage from Mars if you will ;)http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/multimedia/videos/index.cfm?v=43

A few more details on my blog, including a brief discussion of how dust devils form. http://weather.schematical.com/

And here's another pic for those that didn't believe there's cyclones on Mars.
