The US National Aerospace Agency published pictures of a dust storm that swept over the surface of Mars. The footage was taken by the Curiosity rover near the Gale crater, Rosbalt.

According to preliminary data, we are talking about the so-called dust devils, which can pose a serious threat to the rover.

Automated platform Curiosity landed on the surface of the Red Planet in 2012. According to NASA, mission rover does not have a clear time frame. Aerospace Agency intends to use the device until its failure.
