Mars' Elongated Cloud Driven by Unknown Atmospheric Physics

Original: Mars’ Oddest Cloud Forms Through Physics Never Seen in Any Planetary Atmosphere

Scientists say the strange, elongated cloud that regularly appears over Mars forms through physical processes never before observed in any planetary atmosphere. The cloud, which stretches across the Red Planet near a giant volcano, has puzzled researchers for years, and the finding suggests Martian atmospheric dynamics differ fundamentally from those of Earth and other planets.

Why now: A new study claims a unique physics behind Mars' oddest cloud, intriguing scientists and space enthusiasts.
