Then almost stopped working solar panels of the Rovers Spirit and Opportunity. To prevent new challenges in the study of Mars, astronomers are trying to develop methods of predicting storms on the red planet.
According to the American astronomer James Shirley, managed to discover the connection between global dust storms and the orbital motion of Mars.
The scientist explained that the global storms occur when the period of increase of momentum of the rotation of Mars at the orbit coincides with the first part of the season of dust storms.
Now there are all prerequisites for the start of the hurricane, said the scientist, noting that in coming months it will become clear if the forecast of experts.
