About this work
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover used one of its navigation cameras to capture these dust devils swirling across Jezero Crater on July 20, 2021, the 148th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This GIF has been enhanced in order to show maximal detail, with some color distortion. The three images that have been included were taken about 15 seconds apart. A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life.
