It's like Mars in Fort Worth, #Texas, where a raging dust and sand storm has darkened the sky and blocked visibility, with winds of more than 60 mph lashing the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

which still spins up dust devils and massive dust storms. Previous analyses of iron oxide on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t detect any evidence of water, which led ...

Our research lays the groundwork for forecasting Martian weather, which will be essential for ensuring the success of future Mars missions." Future studies will examine how these storms lead to ...
