Groundbreaking research into Mars' energy balance reveals a polar surplus driving dynamic weather patterns, including massive ...

The dust is typically found deep beneath the ice, but a seasonal process brings some of it to the surface. NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter also saw winter frost lining the sides of dunes on Mars.

However, these whirlwinds can also help to clear dust from solar panels. Around 12 years ago, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured an extraordinary dust devil with a plume reaching 12 miles ...

The exact mechanism behind Mars’ ubiquitous dust storms is little understood. But a recent discovery is an important step forward Scientists looking into the cause of mammoth dust storms that ...

Dust is a driving force across Mars, shaping both the atmosphere and ... with the principal investigator at IPGP (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris). Significant contributions for SEIS ...

Mars has global dust storms, which are unique," Holcomb explained. "A single storm can literally travel across the entire globe. On top of that, there are local dust storms. The Spirit Rover ...

NASA's InSight lander mission on Mars has ended. The lander studied Marsquakes and the planet's interior. Dust accumulated on its solar panels, causing power loss. Orbiting spacecraft captured ...

Consolidation: Put all the moves together that you have been practising, to make a fun fact file about Mars. Cool down: Using the imagery of dust settling to allow the children to sink to the ...

Scientists looking into the cause of mammoth dust storms that can sweep across nearly all of Mars think they’ve discovered a key factor behind these rollicking storms. The driving forces behind ...
