20 Years Worth of Mars Weather Data Reveals the Red Planet Is Way Windier Than We Thought

A colour satellite image of Mars shows several faint, swirling dust devils – small tornado-like columns of dust – moving across a dusty, cratered surface. The dust devils appear as light streaks or spots, casting subtle shadows as they travel. The terrain is reddish-brown with scattered circular craters and textured ground.

The findings could prove essential for any future human missions to Mars.
