The Storm So Big It Can Take Out Satellites

Mars, once a planet with a thick atmosphere, now experiences massive dust storms due to its thin atmosphere and temperature fluctuations. These storms, occurring every 5.5 Earth years, pose significant challenges to technology and potential human settlement. Dust devils and wind-driven processes lift dust into the atmosphere, creating storms that can block sunlight and disrupt communication. Understanding these storms is crucial for future Mars exploration and settlement.
