Hort,
I do not have a clue how to calculate a scale on this image. I could estimate but may be way off. Surely someone knows how to do this and will step up. I promise not to call them Surely.
Well your animation did it again Hort. If you look at the image in reply 418 you will see the sky brighten just before development. These are indeed thermal devils. The only thing I can figure is mid levels and low levels just above the surface are cooling rapidly post max heating. This would mean Mars is just like Earth. It heats from the bottom and cools from the top.
It will take NASA 4 months to figure that out. They are just now realizing that there is ice on the Lander leg. Geeze
Fred
