These dust devils rise up when sunshine warms the ground, prompting convective rising of air. In the video below, timing is accelerated and contrast has been modified to make frame-to-frame changes easier to see, NASA JPL explained online. | Space.com | Facebook

This “dust devil” in Cornelius was a couple of hours ago off of Catawba Ave. These form on hot and sunny days with dry conditions and light winds. The video is from Steve Gerstein. Thank you for sending it. #dustdevil #cltwx #ncwx #wcnc | Brad Panovich Meteorologist | Facebook

The largest twister in this new video is approx. 210 feet wide. They're not dangerous to the rover – but they can help us better understand the planet's weather. | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory | Facebook
