By now, we have all seen storms on Earth from the perspective of Earth orbit. They are awesome, spectacular images. Recently, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter imaged a dust devil ripping across the surface of the Red Planet.
Dust devils are small, weak tornadoes, and they occur on both Earth and Mars. This specific one rose about half a mile into the thin Martian air, and was about one hundred feet wide.
