Dusty With a Chance of Dust
It's storm season on Mars, with dust the forecast for Gale crater. The Curiosity rover's Mastcam captured this image of local conditions. Meanwhile, over 2,000 kilometers away, the Opportunity rover ceased science operations as the storm grew thicker at its location on the west rim of Endeavour crater. It has stopped communicating.
