The scientists have detected over 1,000 dancing Martian 'dust devils' on Mars. They identified 1,039 tornado-like whirlwinds called 'dust devils' using data from European Space Agency's Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. The findings were published in Science Advances. The study found strongest Martian winds reach speeds of up to 44 metres per second, far faster than previous estimates.
