Life on Mars? Check Out NASA’s Most Convincing Evidence Yet
Martian Tornadoes
If humans ever colonize Mars, they might have to brace for more than just the cold. Tornadoes could also be a threat. The Mars rover Opportunity captured a dust tornado in action, swirling ominously across the barren landscape. This striking image added weight to theories suggesting that small tornadoes are a common occurrence on the Red Planet.
These dust devils, as they’re known, are more frequent than initially believed. Following this discovery, engineers took note, leading to the enhancement of future Mars rovers to withstand these swirling forces. It was a stark reminder that nature’s fury can never be underestimated, even on a distant planet.
