August of Wind: Rare Mars Dust Devil Footage Released 11
astrobio writes "Very rare picture released today from Mars Orbital Camera: the image actually captured a dust devil in the act of creating a streak as it climbed an embankment out of a crater. See panorama, larger image here, and in context. Apparently the University of Arizona has a study called Project Matador which is supposed to tornado-chase on Earth, so that Mars-instruments can be hardened against dust devils. Dorothy, it isn't Kansas."

Quoth Mr. Bunny on conditions on Mars, "Eh, no decent atmosphere, but somebody has to stop that crazy martian character."
Neither Mr. Devil nor Mr. Martian were available for comment.
