A New map of Martian clouds reveals a diverse atmosphere.

A detailed catalogue of clouds observed on Mars has revealed an astonishing array of atmospheric phenomena on the planet, many of which are unlike anything seen on Earth.

Despite its thin atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide, Mars can form remarkable clouds when the conditions are right. The diversity of clouds observed on Mars highlights the complexity of the planet’s atmospheric dynamics. By studying these clouds, scientists can gain valuable insights into the Martian climate, atmospheric circulation, and the role of dust in shaping the planet’s environment.
