About this work
On an early fall afternoon in Ganges Chasma Valles Marineris, NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft managed to capture a cluster of eight dust devils, five of them in the enhanced color strip. They're together on a dark sandy surface that tilts slightly to the north, towards the Sun. Both of these factors help warm the surface and generate convection in the air above. The surface is streaked with the faint tracks of earlier dust devils.
