Effects of Martian Dust Storm

About this image

The left-hand image is from this morning showing the effects of the current dust storm towards the top of the disk. Fortuitously, I had an image from the end of August with a closely similar central longitude. This has been resized to take account of the change in size of the Martian disk and placed on the right-hand side. The effects of the current dust storm are clear to see in this comparison.
