Scientists probe exotic physics behind Mars' oddest cloud

Original: Scientist explore the ‘exotic physics’ behind Mars’ ‘oddest cloud’

Scientists are investigating an unusual, elongated cloud that regularly forms over Mars, examining the exotic atmospheric physics believed to drive it. The cloud, which stretches for over a thousand kilometres near the Arsia Mons volcano, has drawn attention for how it forms and dissipates in ways that defy normal Martian weather patterns, prompting new research into the planet's atmosphere.

Why now: New research into the strange cloud's formation is drawing interest from space and science audiences.
