Fascinating video of dunes on Mars, filmed by Curiosity

Namib Dune on Mars

This fascinating video shows the newly explored Bagnold Dune Field on Mars. The effects of wind on the sand dunes can be clearly seen. Several features in the Bagnold Dune Field have been named after Namibian places, such as "Namib Dune" and "Gobabeb". Sand samples from Mars' Gobabeb have been analysed for particle sizes and mineral composition including chromium, nickel and magnesium.
