NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity has photographed “clouds of dry ice” in Mars’ carbon dioxide heavy atmosphere, according to ANU cosmologist and astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker.
“We’ve only rarely have seen clouds on Mars, there’s not a lot of water on the surface, most of that is contained underneath, we’ve also seen it only at the poles,” he told Sky News.
“When Curiosity got ready to snap these clouds and … when they snapped it they realised it actually formed a little bit earlier.”
