Dust devils spotted: 30 tiny whirlwinds in Mars' Mamers Valles
TL;DR Summary
ESA's Mars Express image captures Mamers Valles, a vast Martian valley system in the planet's northern hemisphere, where about 30 dust devils appear as small yellow dots with pink shadows. Dust devils on Mars are powerful indicators of wind and help scientists map atmospheric dynamics for future missions. The Mamers Valles region links Mars' ancient southern highlands to its northern lowlands and sits near former glaciers, making it a prime area for studying Mars' past and planning exploration.
