Strange cloud in the martian sky

NASA’s robotic rover Curiosity, which has been circling the surface of Mars since 2012, took this photograph of the Martian sky on January 27, 2023. It highlights a striking iridescent cloud whose shape is very reminiscent of a bird feather . Studying the hues of the cloud can be a good way to obtain some data about the size of the particles inside it and some other characteristics. (Fountain: NCYT de Amazings)
