TGO orbiting satellite, launched by ESA, was designed to study the origin of trace gases in the atmosphere of the red planet.

However, the spacecraft managed to make a phenomenal discovery – he recorded the tracks “dust devils”. The name vortex was because they are ten times the scale of an earth desert phenomena. Reaching a hundred meters in height, the “devils” cause irreparable harm to the devices operating on the surface of Mars.

Closer to each other in such a tornado form a complex pattern. Dominated by dark-red color dust, but the satellite TGO used the filters of the other color categories blue and white. Recall that a space Explorer entered orbit around Mars in 2016, but no further information were submitted.

And only two years later, the European space Agency has received a clear colored image anomaly of the red planet.
