Winds and swirling dust devils on Mars can reach speeds of up to 160 km/h, much faster than scientists once believed.

An international research team, led by the University of Bern, Switzerland, used advanced machine learning techniques to analyze images captured by the Bernese Mars camera CaSSIS and the HRSC stereo camera. Their findings provide valuable data that will help researchers better understand how the Martian atmosphere works.

Even though Mars has an extremely thin atmosphere, it still experiences winds that play a key role in shaping its climate and moving dust around the planet. While winds themselves cannot be seen in images, dust devils stand out clearly.
