Martian Curiosity Rover Captures Mars Weather

The cameras of NASA's Martian Curiosity Rover captured the weather on the Red Planet and its vast red deserts, Mashable reported on Saturday.

According to the captured photos, the footage showed that the Mars weather is dusty and windy, and there are several wind gusts across the Martian deserts.

NASA explained: "Scientists believe it's a wind gust rather than a dust devil since it doesn't appear to have the trademark vorticity, or twisting, of a dust devil."

It is usual that the Red Planet sees extreme, long-lived dusty weather, and huge storms; NASA's staff member Michael Smith explained: "Every year there are some moderately big dust storms that pop up on Mars and they cover continent-sized areas and last for weeks at a time."

Scientists are looking forward to observing those storms as they can reveal a lot of details about the Red Planet.

The car-sized Rover will continue climbing Mount Sharp which is the peak of Mars' Gale crater, searching for the existence of any tiny creatures or microbes in the area.
