Here's a better version showing high altitude Martian clouds, taken on Sol 2410 by the right Navcam B.

Seán Doran has put together an excellent Sol 2410 cloud animation using frame interpolation.

The clouds don't look a lot different than high cirrus here on Earth. They seem to maintain their shape longer (but it was only a 30 second video, so a 30 second Earth video of high clouds may not show much change at all either).

The clouds are moving slower than the animated versions show. The first frame posted is at 15:08:20 UTC, the final frame is at 15:12:36 UTC. Martian minutes and seconds are slightly longer than they are on Earth time, so we are looking at about 4 1/2 Martian minutes total.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
