With the images of clouds coming down, it is time for a new thread.
Here is just part of a panorama. Autostitch was not able to stitch more than those 2 images of 4 images. I think because there are not enough matching points. Maybe one of the other programms can do it better? Taken with the L0 navcam on Sol 962. jvandriel EDIT. I have done my math again and the Sol is not Sol 962 but Sol 950. I know there is a little program for finding the right Sol but i can't find it. jvandriel |

I did read somewhere that it could snow around the poles of mars. Which would be a GREAT thing to see (one day, with a future lander) or perhaps MRO can show the snow clouds seen from above one winter.

Snow in the form we (And Calvin of cartoon strip fame) know and love is highly improbable on Mars. There's a small likelihood though that microscopic ice crystals could precipitate out of the atmosphere, but they have a long long way to fall. Falling ice crystals would also be quite volatile in the low pressure of the Martian atmosphere and I doubt they'd stand a chance of actually making it to the ground. Still, I'd love to read anything suggesting it might be possible. |
