New Photos Capture Massive Dust Devils Dancing Across Mars' Surface
Jan 17, 2024

In just a few months, a planet-wide dust storm is expected to completely cover Mars, blocking light from the sun and hiding the Red Planet’s features. This type of global dust storm has been difficult to predict, but researchers have reason to believe that they may be linked to Mars’ motion around the gravitational center of the solar system, reports Smithsonian.com.
