ScienceA 1,000-mile cloud on Mars may reveal physics never seen in nature

A long, thin cloud appears near Arsia Mons each morning during Martian spring and summer, stretching more than 1,000 miles before fading. Researchers have now modeled its formation for the first time, suggesting it may be driven by a physical process never directly observed in a planetary atmosphere.
