Martian Dust Storm

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

Mars is in the grip of a planet-wide dust storm. Observations from the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft illustrate the storm's progress through July 21. The series of dated frames show measurements from the MGS Thermal Emission Spectrometer, which can determine both temperature and amount of atmospheric dust. Dust data has been plotted on maps of the Martian surface, with blue representing relatively clear atmosphere.
