Dust devils form when the planet’s surface heats up, pushing hot air close to the ground rapidly up through cooler air above.

Dust devils on Mars have been known for years. Using them as a proxy for wind speed, however, is a clever twist. The new ...

A new study reveals that Mars’ dust devils race across the planet at speeds up to 160 km/h, far exceeding earlier estimates.

Scientists combined 20 years of Mars images to track over 1,000 dust devils, revealing powerful winds that shape the Red ...

The study showed that strong near-surface winds are abundant on Mars and play an important role in injecting dust into the ...

Creating a composite photograph of the images taken by the Color and Stereo Surface Imaging System ( CaSSIS) aboard the Trace Gas Orbiter, ESA scientists found that the dust and gas layers of Mars' ...

The researchers found that, in most cases, the dust devils were being blown across the landscape faster than our current Mars weather models predicted. In places where wind speeds are higher than ...

Whirling dust devils and winds on Mars can move at an unexpected 99 miles per hour. The dust they send into the atmosphere could affect future missions.

We're just weeks away from this interstellar visitor reaching its brightest in Earth's night skies. Will we see it?

What can dust devils on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s weather and climate cycles? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of scientists ...
