In good news in terms of studying the climate of Mars, the “Perseverance” rover was able to record the sound of the “dust devil” phenomenon, in a very important precedent that will help to better understand the climate of the Red Planet.
In a rare coincidence, on September 27, a whirlwind 118 meters high passed over the head of the robot and its “Supercam” instrument, which was equipped with a microphone that recorded the sound of the phenomenon, and the data reached the ground following a few days.
Martian dust whirlwinds, which resemble sand whirlwinds that strike some deserts on Earth, are one of the basic atmospheric phenomena on the Red Planet.
