Spaceweather (www.spaceweather.com) is reporting a dust storm on Mars visible in amateur telescopes. Hope we don't get too much dust-fall on the solar panels.... unsure.gif

I think that the differences between the Dust Devil and Wind Streak are of its traces. The DD *never* trace a stright line since it is subjected by the convencion of two different temperatures between the surface and the atmosphere which are very dynamic. Otherwise, the Wind Streak is of a constant or prominent wind and its force changes the color of surface in stright lines due to different kind of sand or dust on the surface. Then the typical atmospheric phenomenas: DD-> Gusev, SW -> Meridiani
