The Mars Perseverance Rover has captured images of rare, high-altitude noctilucent clouds shimmering over the Red Planet. The thin atmosphere of Mars makes the appearance of clouds very unusual, though they can form around the planet’s equator in the coldest time of the year. Perseverance captured the clouds on Saturday To even see these very high-up clouds the sun has to have set while the noctilucent clouds are still in sunlight.
“These twilight clouds, also known as ‘noctilucent’ clouds, grow brighter as they fill with crystals, then darken after the Sun’s position in the sky drops below their altitude. This is just one useful clue scientists use to determine how high they are,” explains NASA.
