On earth, dust storms can definitely reduce available sunlight, but they are a real pain when it rains at the same time. Then it's time for a car wash. I'm a bit worried about accumulated dust, but also hopeful some dust will blow off the panels. It probably doesn't make a lot of sense comparing this dust storm to those on earth, though.
Both the original and the 'unstretched' hazcams posted looked pretty dusty to me. But I'm with Bill on this. Pass the popcorn and the Pancams, please. -------------------- ...Tom
