This Apod blog is about the dust storms on mars. This photo truly captures what the explanation is depicting. The storm forms in the northern hemisphere. The season of spring usually hints to an abundance of dust storms on the planet. This photo is an extremely sharp image and shows he evolving dust storm that is growing from the large dark region called the Mare Acidulous that is located below the polar cap. This particular dust storm was recorded on February 2nd with the Pic Du Midi telescope that Is 1 meter. The observation spot was in the French Pyrenees. This photo is diffidently more vivid then I would ever imagine, and just adore this photo.
