Watch a Martian Dust Devil on Camera using NASA’s Perseverance Rover!



In this episode, we will show you how NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a video of a dust devil on Mars, and what it can tell us about the Martian weather and climate. A dust devil is a swirling column of air and dust that forms when warm air rises and mixes with cooler air. They are common on Earth, but they are even more spectacular on Mars, where the thin atmosphere and the dry surface create ideal conditions for them to form. We will explain how the rover recorded and measured the dust devil, and how it compares to other dust devils observed by previous missions on Mars. We will also discuss how dust devils affect the Martian atmosphere and weather, and how they can trigger or contribute to larger dust storms on Mars, which are among the most extreme weather events in the solar system.

  1. Mars The beautiful Red planet is really interesting planet in our Solar system because there was life on Mars billions years ago and can be life on today too, man made cavedoor, faces on Mars ground and humanoid statues on Mars are good reasons why I believe there will be life on Mars today. Marsquakes and Mars storms like that Dust Devil are really interesting natural phenomenas on Mars. Our neighbour planet Mars is home of humanity on future but it will takes a long long time before humans are ready to move Mars, still I will always stay here in Earth because this is beautiful blue home planet with life. 🌌🌍👨🏻‍🚀👩🏾‍🚀🚀🛰🌑☀️🛸👽👾🪐☄️

  2. Mars is so interesting, and we will see humans on it within 10-20 years. Great vid 👍

    Are you planning on making a video about the carbon found on europa? Edit- you already did! 😅 how on earth did I miss that one!

  3. I'm disturbed at how you intermingled actual rover images with artists' animations — without the merest attempt to label them as such. That's outright deceitful, and it does nobody any good except making yourself look good.

  4. Thanks NSN for your VERY interesting topic from Mars!
    Unfortunately, detailed exploration of the surface of Mars is often greatly hindered by sand, dust and even frost. I´ve been researching the surface of Mars for many years using good programs and magnifying tools and the programs are constantly updated.
    I discovered many "strange traces" there – "objects or things" that are very similar to villages, buildings, paths, monuments and even a kind of hyroglyphic writing of an ancient civilization that probably lived there a very long time ago during the still habitable epoch of Mars…
    But what is or was visible one day often lies under layers of sand, dust and frost the next day and then disappears for a while, so you have to "stubbornly stay on the ball".
    But one thing is certain, a lot is being kept secret and hidden from us by government institutions (same with UFO´s & aliens & messages/communications)… 🛰🚀🛸
