NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has captured a series of images of drifting clouds just before sunrise on the Red Planet. The atmosphere on Mars is usually thin, dry and cloudy days are rare. And clouds are typically found at the planet's equator in the coldest time of year, when Mars is the farthest from the Sun in its oval-shaped orbit.
