Perseverance Rover Captures 1.2-Mile-High Dust Devil in Action on Mars

On August 30th, 2023, during its 899th Martian day (sol 899) of the mission, NASA's Perseverance rover made an intriguing discovery as it explored the Jezero Crater on Mars. It captured images of a dust devil, a common phenomenon on the Martian surface. These images were obtained using one of the rover's Navigation Cameras (NavCams) and were compiled into a video sequence composed of 21 frames, taken at four-second intervals and sped up by a factor of 20. Dust devils on Mars are similar to the small, short-lived whirlwinds seen on Earth. They form when pockets of hot air near the Martian surface rise rapidly through the cooler air above. The study of these dust devils provides valuable insights into Mars' atmosphere and aids in the improvement of Martian weather models. The parti...

Latest Update on Another Spider-Man Spinoff Movie Leaves Fans Disappointed

Sony's Spider-Man Universe continues to carve out its own space in the Marvel movie landscape, but one project, Silver Sable, seems to be officially dead after a new update. Sony found success with its first Spider-Man spin-off - Venom - but the shared universe has struggled to bring some of its other characters to life. Morbius was released to poor reviews, and two more Spider-Man adjacent projects are on the way - 2024's Madame Webb and Kraven the Hunter. However, many other planned Sony Spider-Man Universe movies have remained stuck in development, as it's unclear what's happening with El Muerto, Hypno Hustler, Jackpot, and several others. Now, a new update about Silver Sable strongly suggests that the movie has been fully canceled. Lindsey Anderson Beer was previously connected to ...
