Mars Express and the case of the large, mysterious Martian volcano cloud April 21, 2021 Throughout the southern Martian hemisphere’s spring and summer seasons, a large, expansive cloud emerges daily from the volcano Arsia Mons.  Why this cloud only forms at this location on Mars, what kind of cloud it is, and other puzzles to this phenomenon have plagued researchers for years — as observing Martian weather usually only happens by accident during other investigations. Now, a team of researchers primarily using the Mars Express orbiter from the European Space Agency (ESA) — as well as da...

CBP Introduces Simplified Arrival at SJU in San Juan, Puerto Rico Details Written by IVN San Juan, Puerto Rico - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in partnership with Aerostar announced the implementation of the Simplified Arrival process at the Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport (IATA: SJU, ICAO: TJSJ). Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrival process that uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States. This process provides travelers with a touchless process ...

We Finally Know What's Going on With That Weird, Long, Recurring Cloud on Mars 12 MARCH 2021 In 2018, a camera on board the Mars Express mission caught sight of a strangely long and wispy cloud, billowing across the surface of the red planet. From a distance, the 1,500-kilometer (930-mile) trail of fog almost resembled a plume of smoke, and it seemed to be emerging from the top of a long-dead volcano.   Looking back at archived images, researchers soon realized this had been happening for a while. Every few years in spring or summer, this curious cloud would return, before disappearing on...

Scientists unravel mystery of 1,100-mile-long cloud forming above Martian volcanoes It's similar to how these clouds form on Earth only on a massive scale. The cloud is about 1,118 miles (1,800 kilometers) long and 93 miles (150 km) across. Credit: ESA. Every year around Mars’ southern solstice, a strange elongated ice cloud forms over the red planet’s surface. The exact nature of this peculiar meteorological phenomenon has been elusive — until recently. Scientists affiliated with the European Space Agency (ESA) just released a stunning photo of the giant 1,100-mile-long (1,800 km) c...

Incredible Mars Photos Show Strange 1,100-Mile-Long Cloud Above a Volcano On 3/10/21 at 11:07 AM EST The European Space Agency has published incredible images of a strange "extremely elongated" cloud in the atmosphere above the Arsia Mons volcano on Mars. The images of the 1,100-mile-long cloud were captured by the Visual Monitoring Camera on the Mars Express spacecraft, which has been studying the Red Planet for more than 15 years. The long, thin cloud of water ice appears at certain times of the Martian year—which lasts about 687 Earth days—above the 12-mile-high Arsia Mons volcano, loc...
