A new compilation of images from NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover appears to show a dust devil twister dancing across the surface of the red planet, about 2.5 miles away from the six-wheeled geologist.
NASA said only the lower portion of the twister was seen moving along the western rim of Mars’ Jezero Crater, on Aug. 30, 2023.
The images were snapped on Perseverance’s 899th day on Martian soil.
NASA’S PERSEVERANCE MARS ROVER CAPTURES IMAGES OF WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN A WILD RIVER
The 21 pictures snapped four seconds apart by one of the rover’s Navcams, were put together and sped up by about 20 times to show the motion of the dust devil.
On Mars, dust devils are weaker and smaller than tornadoes on Earth, NASA said, but they are one of the ways dust on the planet is moved and redistributed.
The phenomena are often studied by scientists to understand the atmosphere of Mars while also helping to improve current weather models.

Based on the images, NASA said, mission scientists believe the dust devil was about 2.5 miles away on the “Thorofare Ridge,” moving east to west about 12 mph.
The width was calculated to be nearly 200 feet wide, and although the bottom 387 feet of the twister was captured, scientists estimate it to be over a mile high.
“We don’t see the top of the dust devil, but the shadow it throws gives us a good indication of its height,” Mark Lemmon, a planetary scientist at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and a member of the Perseverance science team said. “Most are vertical columns. If this dust devil were configured that way, its shadow would indicate it is about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) in height.”

On Earth, dust devils form when rising warm air mixes with descending columns of cooler air.
NASA also said Martian versions of dust devils can grow to be much larger than the dust devils found on Earth.
Scientists are still working to get a better understanding of when dust devils will appear in a specific location.
The rover has been exploring the Jezero Crater since landing there over two years ago, with hopes of eventually seeking out signs of ancient microbial life.
Thousands of followers of a firebrand Iraqi Shiite cleric rallied in major cities in Iraq on Friday, condemning the burning of a Quran during a protest in Sweden earlier this week. Some of the demonstrators called for expulsion of the Swedish ambassador from Iraq.
At the rallies in the capital of Baghdad and the southern city of Basra, followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, a cleric with a large grassroots following and political leader, burned Swedish flags and rainbow LGBTQ+ pride flags and chanted “”Yes, yes to Islam” and “No, no to the devil.”
Addressing the crowds in a speech in the Baghdad suburb of Sadr City, Friday prayers preacher Sayyid Sattar Batat, called on Iraqi authorities to “if necessary, expel the Swedish ambassador and cut all diplomatic relations with them.”
FRANCE WILL DEPLOY 40,000 OFFICERS TO CRACK DOWN ON RIOTS AFTER DEADLY POLICE SHOOTING
The protests came a day after hundreds of protesters briefly stormed the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad.
On Wednesday, a man who identified himself in Swedish media as a refugee from Iraq burned a Quran outside a mosque in central Stockholm.
An Iraqi security official said the man was an Iraqi Christian who had previously fought in a Christian unit of the Popular Mobilization Forces, a collection of mostly Shiite militias that were incorporated into the country’s armed forces in 2016.
Swedish police had authorized the protest, citing freedom of speech, after a previous decision to ban a similar protest was overturned by a Swedish court.
The act, coming during the major Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, drew widespread condemnation in the Muslim world. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday suggested that the incident would pose another obstacle to Sweden’s bid for NATO membership.
Iraqi officials have called on Sweden to extradite the man who had burned the Quran for prosecution in Iraq.
Imagine running a retail business without knowing how much you’re paying your wholesaler for goods. Or running a restaurant without looking at the price of your ingredients. Or constructing homes without looking at the price of raw materials… you get the idea.
That lack of transparency would be frightening, but hey, things could still work out, right?
Well, let’s up the difficulty.
Imagine that, on top of not knowing exactly how much you were paying for your inputs, you also didn’t know if you would have consistent and continued access to your wholesaler, your food supplier, or your building materials. That would almost certainly induce high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, and mild insomnia.
In the world of private credit (this is basically business credit for the majority of companies), it’s not only normal but expected that getting and maintaining access to debt capital (one of the key inputs for running any business!) will be opaque, error-prone, and hard to operationalize. In other words, capital uncertainty is the dismal reality in middle-market finance.
Private credit is enormous (add up all the VC dollars spent last year and you’d still be short of the amount of private credit issued over the same period), unavoidable, and broken.
That means credit access–the fuel or primary financial input for most medium-sized businesses–is hard to price, access, report on, and predict.
And yet it doesn’t have to be that way; the data and operational issues of private credit have been solved in other domains (e.g., CRMs for Sales, infrastructure tooling for devs, EMRs for hospitals). What’s missing is a software layer for business finance.
Finley has built the system of record for private credit. We plug into all borrower source systems and automate reporting and analysis for private credit lenders. The result is full transparency into the cost and availability of capital, which gives businesses newfound financial predictability.
We’re a team of builders, designers, finance experts, engineers, and systems thinkers from top companies in finance and technology, and we’re backed by leading investors like Y Combinator, CRV, and Bain Capital Ventures.
We’re two years into our journey, recently raised a $17 million Series A, and already managing over $3 billion in private credit.
It’s still Day 1, though. The challenges we’re taking on will reshape the economy over the next decades, and we’d love to partner with team members who share our passion for innovation and company-building.
