When the rover snapped these images from about 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) away, the larger dust devil was approximately 210 feet (65 meters) wide, at least 1,300 feet (400 meters) tall, and moving about 2 mph (1 meter per second) to the west-northwest. The smaller dust devil trailing behind (also in the foreground) was roughly 16 feet (5 meters) wide, about the same height, and traveling a bit fast as it was sucked into the larger whirlwind.
