Researchers expect a powerful hurricane
In the near future on Mars is expected global dust storm. Scientists suggest that the planet will completely cover the hurricane, reports SunDayNews.
According to James Shirley, who is a planetary scientist at the jet propulsion laboratory, NASA, Mars will come to the mid-point of the season of dust storms on October 29.
It is worth noting that local dust storms occur on the planet often enough. Sometimes these small storms increase and unite, thus forming the regional system. Usually this happens in spring and summer when Mars is closest to the Sun.
Sometimes massive dust storms lead to the emergence of haze, visible from space and surrounding the Red planet.
Experts expect that in the future will be able to predict such disastrous phenomena on Mars to help astronauts in their missions to the Red planet.
As for the causes of the Martian storms, according to scientists, this may be due to the orbital motion of the planet.
