INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured this feather-shaped iridescent cloud just after sunset on Jan
27, 2023, the 3,724th Martian day, or sol, of the mission
Studying the colors in iridescent clouds tells scientists something about particle size within the clouds and how they grow over time

This scene made up of 28 individual images captured by the rover's Mast Camera, or Mastcam.Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSSRead More
