APOD BLOG 1.3




In this photograph shows the evolving dust storm which extends from the large dark region referred to as Mare Acidalium, to below the polar cap of Mars. As it is now spring for the northern hemisphere of Mars, its expected to experience dust storms. This explains the large brown cloud of dust that marks the usually white north polar cap. This was posted Feb. 5th. I like this picture because it shows the entire Red Planet in all its glory. =)
