NASA's Curiosity Rover captures shining clouds on Mars, check details

NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has captured shining clouds on the Red Planet, which arrived earlier and formed higher than expected.

Washington: NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has captured shining clouds on the Red Planet, which arrived earlier and formed higher than expected. The atmosphere on Mars is usually thin, dry and cloudy days are rare. And clouds are typically found at the planet`s equator in the coldest time of year when Mars is the farthest from the Sun in its oval-shaped orbit. But the scientists noticed clouds forming over NASA`s Curiosity rover earlier than expected, one full Martian year ago - two Earth years.   Sometimes you just need to stop and watch the clouds roll by... on Mars.
