Many videos have gone viral across the internet, showing dust devils spinning up out of nowhere and causing havoc to nearby people and property. One such video was submitted to KWTX out of Nolanville, ...
By tracking how fast the dust devils moved, the researchers found wind speeds of up to 44 m/s, or 158 km/h. This is faster than we've ever measured with rovers on the ground—though it's worth noting ...
Scientists leveraged what was previously considered "digital noise"—color offsets caused by moving objects in images from ESA's Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter—to catalog 1,039 martian dust ...
