[BAA-ebulletin 00809] Urgent: Mars dust storm alert

[BAA electronic bulletins service]

As Mars becomes difficult to observe even in the early evening from the UK, 
a bright cloud, probably dust, has been registered in colour images of July 
1 submitted by Clyde Foster (S. Africa). The cloud was located in 
Libya-Isidis Regio, which is one of several well-known dust emergence sites.

Any observations will be appreciated. The region becomes accessible to UK 
observers over the next few evenings. Please send your observations to me, 
and good luck with your work!

Richard McKim,
Director, Mars Section
