Man, this looks an awful lot like a dust devil in the distance. What do you think?

The atmospheric opacity goes up and down like an excited puppy anyway. Regional and local dust-storms give it trends - but it jumps about from .8 to 1.5 over a period of sols as it is.
But - looking at the Navcam imagery - Spirit's obviously had a cleaning event much like opportunity - that that is BRILLIANT news. Doug |
