  2. Wow big dust devil captured 11 hours ago by Perseverance 🌪️
    Time intervals between each shots: 5 sec, 3 sec, and 84 sec

  4. On Dust Devil Diameters, Occurrence Rates, and Activity

    "Where a typical terrestrial dust devil might span several to ten meters in diameter and hundreds of meters in height, Martian dust devil could be hundreds of meters across and kilometers tall."

  5. Compared to the brutal 90 mph wind that Livingston had to deal with on Sunday, the 44 mph on Monday feels like a dust devil filled with rose petals. Hang on, Montana!

  6. The Perseverance rover captured some pretty massive dust devils earlier today. That large one in the foreground was at least 300m high.
    EDIT: corrected height estimate from 500 to 300m.

  7. Perseverance, just two hours ago, contemplating the vast unknown expanses west of the rim of Jezero Crater.

    Note the bright spot below the horizon at center: probably a dust devil!

  8. Martian Memories

    Dust devil encounter, shot by Spirit at the summit of Husband Hill. This image if part of the "Everest Panorama" that took the rover three days to complete.

  9. How amazing is that? A Martian Dust Devil captured in Stereo3D by the Opportunity Rover, March 31, 2016 (Sol 4332)

  10. Very interesting post by Emma Harris [imperial.ac.uk/people/e.harris] on what Curiosity has been doing these past two days

    ☑️ targets: Dawn Wall, Banner Peak, Pinnacle Ridge, Kukenan butte
    ☑️ environmental monitoring including a 30 minutes dust devil movie and a suprahorizon movie

  11. NASA's Perseverance Captures Dust-Filled Martian Whirlwind.

    The six-wheeled geologist spotted the twister as part of an atmospheric exploration of Jezero Crater, at a location nicknamed “Thorofare Ridge”.

  12. At least the wide angle view has a cool swirling by! 🌪️

  13. Some excellent #DustDevil action at #Fagradalsfjall #volcano in #Iceland this morning.

    Dust devils have been forming here off and on for a while. It looks like a sort of cove has formed where unaltered terrain is bounded on three sides by fresh, hot #lava likely creating the conditions to form dust devils. Cool air temps near 12°C likely also helping.

  14. Then, earlier today on Sol 850, the rover performed the abrasion operation on the same patch of the rock. Apparently this patch is called Lake Helene. This timelapse from the Left Hazcam spans over 28 minutes.

  15. Today Perseverance made a new abrasion at a rock called Ypsilon Lake. The rover previously gave it a good dust-off with the GDRT, which cleans the surface with a blast of nitrogen and checked it out with the WATSON camera.
