The Martian soundscape can be as hauntingly alien as one might hope to hear on another world.
"This chance dust devil encounter demonstrates the potential of acoustic data for resolving the rapid wind structure of the Martian atmosphere," Wiens and colleaguesThe surrounding winds would've been faster, and in the recording, you can hear the silence that reflects the calm eye of this particular tiny storm. Part of what makes the new information valuable is how it compares to events like this on Earth.
."The difference is that the air pressure on Mars is so much lower that the winds, while just as fast, push with about 1 percent of the pressure the same speed of wind would have back on Earth." "It's not a powerful wind, but clearly enough to loft particles of grit into the air to make a dust devil."is useful for a variety of reasons. For one, it gives us a better idea of how the planet evolved, which in turn gives scientists clues to how other planets in the Universe might be evolving too.. Comparing Earth and Mars gives us a better idea of the past and the future of both planets..
