NASA's Curiosity rover has captured plumes of a spinning, columnar vortex of wind known as a 'dust devil' on Mars. It's estimated to be about 16 feet wide and 164 feet tall, NASA wrote sharing a video on Instagram. "This dust devil appears to be passing through small hills just above Curiosity's present location on Mount Sharp," NASA added.
