NASA rover captures images of mysterious "mother-of-pearl" clouds above Mars
New images captured by NASA's Curiosity rover show colorful clouds in the sky over Mars. The images were captured by the rover's Mastcam, which NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory compared to the rover's eyes. The clouds were spotted on Jan. 17, and the photos were taken over the course of 16 minutes, the space agency said in a news release.
Curiosity rover spots rare shimmering clouds above Mars
The Sun sets differently on Mars. Part of that is due to its distance from the star (an average of 142 million miles versus Earth’s roughly 93 million miles), but it also has to do with the planet’s atmosphere. A great example of the effects can be seen in the Red Planet’s noctilucent clouds.
