Mars dust fails to explain solar system's weirdest cloud
Original: Mars dust doesn't explain one of the solar system's weirdest clouds
A long, mysterious cloud stretching from Mars's Arsia Mons volcano has puzzled scientists for years. New research indicates that dust alone cannot account for the cloud's formation and behavior, deepening the mystery. The finding suggests other atmospheric processes may be at work on the Red Planet, and it is drawing attention from planetary scientists and space enthusiasts tracking explanations for one of the solar system's most unusual weather phenomena.
Why now: New research rules out dust as the explanation for a long-puzzling cloud on Mars.
