NASA’s Perseverance rover captures the ‘dust devil’ in Jezero Crater on Mars. The fascinating footage was captured by the rover’s NavCams camera, which captured valuable insights into the Martian climate. Dust devils are known by names like dirt devil and dust devil. There are small winds of 18 inches in area to large winds of 30 feet in this category. In Australia they are known as Willy Willy. Winds are generally less of a problem for dust blowing on the ground. Although weaker and smaller than hurricanes, they play a crucial role in scientific research in studying the Martian atmosphere.
It is located on Thorofare Ridge, 4 km from Jezero. This wind blew at a speed of 19 kilometers per hour from east to west on Mars. It was located at a height of about 2 km. Such winds on Mars are larger and more intense than dust blowing winds on Earth. Their appearance is also unpredictable.
The Perseverance mission, which was launched on July 30, 2020, reached Mars after traveling 48 crore kilometers in 7 months. Perseverance is the fifth rover to reach Mars. Jezero Crater, where Perseverance landed, is a mysterious area on Mars. Although Jezero is now dry, rivers used to flow here in ancient times. A lake was also formed here from the damming of that water. Researchers also hope that life once flourished on Mars in its distant past. Even today, as a result, researchers including those from NASA testify that the mud content in the soil here is high. Perseverance’s main goal is the final human exploration of the Red Planet. The Perseverance rover’s operations are overseen by the Caltech-managed Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
