Giant Martian Cloud May Form Through Unseen Atmospheric Physics
Original: Giant Martian Cloud May Form Through Physics Never Before Seen in Planetary Atmosphere
Scientists studying an elongated cloud that regularly forms over Mars say it may be produced by atmospheric physics never before observed on any planet. The elongated cloud, which stretches hundreds of kilometres over a Martian volcano, does not fit existing models of cloud formation. Researchers are now proposing new mechanisms to explain how it develops and persists.
Why now: New research suggests a strange recurring cloud on Mars behaves in a way no known planetary atmosphere should, drawing scientific and public interest.
