Long Skinny Cloud Reappears Over Mars Volcano Each Morning
Original: Martian Cloud Oddities Nearly every morning in the Martian spring and summer, a long, skinny cloud forms over Arsia Mons
A recurring atmospheric phenomenon on Mars is drawing attention: nearly every morning during the Martian spring and summer, a long, narrow water ice cloud forms over Arsia Mons, an extinct volcano near the planet's equator. The cloud typically stretches more than 1,600 kilometers before evaporating within hours, puzzling scientists studying Martian weather patterns.
Why now: The striking scale and daily regularity of the cloud make it a curious example of Martian meteorology
