On July 12, 2022 ESA’s Mars Express Orbiter captured fast moving object in Red Planet’s atmosphere. Mars Express has been in orbit around Mars since December 2003 and continues to send amazing images directly from Mars’s orbit. Images in this video has been taken with Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC). It originally provided simple, low-tech images of the Beagle lander separation, and is now back in action as the 'Mars Webcam’. Technically, this moving object could be wether cloud anomaly or VMC’s lens artefact.
