  Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 29, 2023 Scientists working on the Perseverance Mars 2020 rover mission have uncovered new insights about dust devils on the Red Planet, thanks to the meteorological sensors on the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument. The mission, which landed in Jezero crater in February 2020, has observed a high abundance of dust devils, with small seasonal variability. According to the research team, terrains with lower thermal inertia, which warm more efficiently at noon, favor the appearance of dust ... read more |
