Crash Course 天文篇
These dust devils have been seen from orbit, and when they blow the red dust around on the greyish basaltic plains, they can leave behind incredibly complex and beautiful curlicues.
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10meters wide and more than 1000meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
