At 00:25:08 UT the Mars Webcam takes this new image of the ongoing phenomenon on the Arsia Mons volcano.This image is number 60 in a series of 99 photos!Throughout the series we can see the plume from different angles at the time of sunrise, preventing us from appreciating the length of the entire plume. Interestingly, there is a sort of fainter secondary plume that fades… Read More »Arsia Mons, November 19, 2018

Thanks to two Mars Webcam shots taken at 22:08:58 and 22:11:21 UT, it was possible to compose this 3D image to show the plume of Arsia Mons taken from the side, visible along the edge of the planet in the lower right corner. The plume itself appears very large and still very dense, as evidenced by the shadow cast on the ground.We are almost at… Read More »Arsia Mons, November 12, 2018: the plume in 3D!

The animation is a representation of “tau” optical depth, the amount of light that is blocked by dust suspended in the atmosphere, as measured by the Mars Climate Sounder aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The red dot represents the position… Read More »PIA22737: Mars Climate Sounder studies 2018 dust storm
