NASA's Mars Perseverance rover captured footage of a monstrous dust devil swirling along on the surface of the Red Planet. According to a press release from the space agency, the remarkable scene was filmed on August 30th and unfolded approximately two-and-a-half miles from the exploratory vehicle "at a location nicknamed 'Thorofare Ridge.'" According to their calculations, the dust devil measured approximately 200 feet wide and, based on the shadow of the formation, appears to have been a whopping 1.2 miles tall.
