A 1,000-mile cloud on Mars may reveal physics never seen in nature
A new model suggests Mars may host ice-forming physics never directly observed before. Every morning during the Martian spring and summer, a thin and extremely long cloud emerges, only to disappear again.
AI Summary
A thin, elongated cloud forms each Martian morning during spring and summer, appearing near the volcano Arsia Mons. The wispy cloud stretches gradually, reaching lengths over 1,000 miles—roughly the distance from New York to Kansas City—before fading. The cycle of emergence, elongation, and dissipation repeats for several months. Scientists suggest the cloud may involve ice‑forming physics not yet directly observed on Earth.
