NASA captures image from their 'Curiosity Rover' of colourful clouds

The images captured by NASA's 'Curiosity Rover' may be higher in the atmosphere than most clouds, they may also be carbon dioxide gas that has evaporated, and frozen, or may possibly be 'dried up ice'. All of these possibilities were reported by NASA.

A #NASA statement stated: "I always marvel at the colours that show up: reds, and greens, and blues, and purples."
"It's really cool to see something shining with lots of colour on Mars."

The images captured by NASA's device were at a greater height than 'normal' because the clouds are usually loaded with water (#H20) ice, and normally hover at around 37 miles (or 60 kilometres) atop of the Martian Surface, according to NASA's explanation.


The scientists are not yet fully sure regarding the clouds explanation in these circumstances, the scientists said.


The clouds had began to appear in late #January. NASA's 'Curiosity Rover' had been waiting to record the early clouds, and had perfectly-succeeded.


Two earth-years ago, astrologists had concluded that the clouds would appear earlier in the Martian Year than was expected. The clouds did indeed start to show up in late January.
