It's been several days since I've heard of an update on another possible
planet-wide Martian dust storm. I'd get out the scope and look myself only
it's been cloudy/rainy nearly all spring/summer.

Has anyone heard a recent update or made observatons.

They are the quickest to get images and drawings up from the previous
night. At least they are the quickest that I've found.

Also See ALPO:

and then to the Mars section.


I was clouded out this morning (first time in two weeks) but as of
yesterday, things were *relatively* quiet. At least they are from
Martian longitudes of about 150° to 240°

Starry Skies,

I read somewhere that the dust storm was decreasing in size, and not
expected to be global.
