SpaceScience image of the week features Martian weather.
Diffuse, water-ice clouds, a hazy sky and a light breeze. Such might have read a weather forecast for the #
Tharsis volcanic region on #
Mars on 22 November 2016, when this image was taken by the #
ExoMars #
TGO (Trace Gas Orbiter).
Clouds, most likely of water-ice, and atmospheric haze in the sky are coloured blue/white in this image.
Below, 630 km west of the volcano #
ArsiaMons, the southernmost of the Tharsis volcanoes, outlines of ancient lava flows dominate the surface. The dark streaks are due to the action of wind on the dark-coloured basaltic sands, while redder patches are wind blown dust. A handful of small impact craters can also be seen.
