Other missions have gathered images, weather data and dust measurements of these events, and the NASA InSight lander even recorded seismic and magnetic signals created by the dust devils. The Perseverance rover took a selfie over a rock nicknamed "Rochette" on September 10, 2021. While this sounds like a massive whirlwind, it’s the average size for Martian dust devils, Murdoch said. This figure shows the size of the dust devil in relation to the Perseverance rover. From its perch high on a ridge, Opportunity recorded this image of a Martian dust devil.

NASA's InSight lander felt a powerful Mars quake. Then an orbiter took a picture of the meteor impact that caused it. The impact kicked up boulders of water ice, which will be crucial for future astronaut missions to Mars.
