A Martian Dust Devil Passes
The Spirit rover on Mars has captured definitive movies of dust devils from the planet's surface. This sequence of images, taken about 20 seconds apart, shows a dust devil raising Martian dust so thick it casts a shadow. These observations help us understand the Martian atmosphere and surface processes.
