Mars's elongated cloud may be stranger than scientists thought
Original: Mars's oddest cloud may be even odder than we thought
The European Space Agency reports new findings on the long, thin cloud that repeatedly forms over the Arsia Mons volcano on Mars. The cloud, which stretches for roughly a thousand kilometres each Martian morning, is showing behaviour that does not fit earlier explanations. Researchers studying Mars Express data say the phenomenon may be more unusual than previously believed, drawing interest from space enthusiasts and planetary scientists.
Why now: ESA has just published new research suggesting a well-known Martian cloud is more unusual than previously understood.
