Most of what we know about clouds on Mars comes from data collected during the Martian afternoon. New research paints a complete picture of what Martian clouds look like all day—and night—long.
eos.org
Data captured by the Emirates Mars Mission reveal that clouds are typically thicker during Martian nighttime than daytime.
