Twister action in Mars orbiter


Dust devil



A twisting column of dust was on a move in more than half a mile (800meters) the image is seen very high from the High Resoultion Imaging Science Experiment camera in NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. 

This image was beautiful cached on Feb. 16, 2012. The orbitor passes on the Amazon is Planitia on the northern mars.

 In the place where the dust seems have the whirlwinds, dust devils and the dusty surface.

 The image was taken in the Martian year. AS we seen on the Earth the winds on the mars are heated by the solar.

Same as the Earth the dust devils are seen in Mars also. When the air gets heated immediately the surface raised quickly and start to rotate if the conditions are ok. 

With the help of six science instruments since 1996 they are examine the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.More than 21.700 imges are awesomely taken in the HRISE.

HRISE is operated by the University of Arizona which is seen in the place of Tucson.
