The researchers found that 78% of dust storms during that period were preceded by an extended period of what passes for "warm ...

They begin on small scales, but some can blow up into global storms that enshroud the Red Planet in obscuring dust, hiding even the largest surface features from our prying eyes. "Dust storms have ...

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a view of Mars during a global dust storm in 2018. Mars is capable of churning out some gnarly dust storms. Sometimes, these storms go global, turning the red ...

Study links warm days on Mars to increased dust storm activity. Dust storms disrupt missions, covering solar panels and equipment. Predictive models may improve dust storm forecasts on Mars.

Planetary scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have found that warm, sunlit days may set the stage for massive dust storms — the kind that can bury a rover, stall a mission ...

Planetary scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have made progress in understanding what sparks massive dust storms on Mars, weather phenomena that can envelop the entire planet in swirling ...

Dust storms on Mars could one day pose dangers to human astronauts, damaging equipment and burying solar panels. New research gets closer to predicting when extreme weather might erupt on the Red ...

Dust storms on Mars were first observed by an astronomer using a telescope in 1796, according to NASA — and yet today, the powerful storms that can engulf the entire planet are still a mystery.

What processes are responsible for dust storms on Mars? This is what a study presented today at the American Geophysical Union 2024 Fall Meeting hopes to address as a pair of researchers from the ...
