Once again there is some dust storm activity worth observing. It is fortunate that we have had daily coverage for a long while now (and on every day of this month) with observers being situated around the world. Images by Clyde Foster and Nick Haigh in the last couple of days showed local dust cores in southern Chryse-Xanthe and near Lunae Lacus. As of today, September 19, dust runs along a good length of Valles Marineris, across parts of Chryse-Xanthe and across Mare Acidalium. The area is well placed for UK observers able to observe in the pre-dawn skies. The latest Mars Section blog post describes the recent large regional storm, which originated in the same area as the current event. Images and drawings will be welcome.
