"NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures Spectacular Dust Devil on Mars"

NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover captured a series of images showing a 200-foot-wide dust devil moving across the surface of Mars, about 2.5 miles away from the rover. The images, taken on the rover's 899th day on Mars, were compiled and sped up to show the motion of the dust devil. Dust devils on Mars are smaller and weaker than tornadoes on Earth but play a role in redistributing dust on the planet. Scientists study these phenomena to better understand Mars' atmosphere and improve weather models. The dust devil captured in the images was estimated to be over a mile high, based on its shadow.
