DD Tracks in Southern Schiaparelli Basin (context frame - False Colors; credits: Lunexit)

Dust-Devils (DD) are vortices of wind that form when air rising from a warm surface encounters shear in the above atmosphere.
Martian Dust-Devils can attain gargantuan proportions, reaching the size of terrestrial tornadoes with plumes that tower up to 9 Km above the surface.
Dust-Devils play an important role in sustaining the aerosols that make up Mars’ Red Sky and in cleaning the Martian Surface after a Dust Storm.

Nota Lunexit: sono quindi i DD, secondo la NASA, la "causa maggiore" del Cielo Rosso di Marte? Interessante riflessioni ed interessante quesito: dunque il Cielo di Marte NON E', naturalmente, "rosso" o "arancio", ma è "tinto di rosso/arancio"!

Pensateci sopra...
