Summary

Clouds have a lot to teach us—they indicate the weather, they impact the climate, and they inspire a sense of awe and wonder. But what can we learn from clouds on Mars? In this interview with Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) scientist Marek Slipski, we hear about how clouds on Mars are like (and unlike) clouds here on Earth as well as how hunting for them in JPL’s citizen science cloudspotting project can be a mindful activity.
