Detecting 'ghost dust' on red planet

NASA's Mars spy satellite captured high-quality images of 'ghost dust' that appeared along the surface of Mars. The phenomenon of 'ghost dust' also appeared on Earth, many mistakenly thought it was a tornado but not.

'Ghosts' appear on the red planet

Experts say that when the Mars probe passes over the Amazonis Planitia of the red planet, these incredible images have been sent.

'Ghost dust' is a phenomenon that occurs during beautiful days, when the ground is warmed by absorbing much heat from the sun, causing swirling air columns, through small cold air pockets above it. This phenomenon can be observed with the naked eye.

'Ghost dust' appears and moves west of the red planet, creating a fairly clear shadow on the surface of Mars. The shape of drinking is curved like a snake. Diameter is about 30m, height is about 800m.

Scientists also said that although Mars's atmosphere is very thin, it is only 1% of the pressure on Earth, but the winds on Mars are hot enough to produce this 'ghost dust' phenomenon . Scientists further explained that although this time, Mars is located farthest from the Sun, but it also receives a considerable amount of heat from the sun.
