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

Pando (or anyone), any idea how quickly the power level jumped on Spirit? How often is it sampled? If we could determine that it happened in minutes or seconds, that'd perhaps suggest a (very flukey?) dust devil crossing the rover. If it took longer, perhaps there was a period of time with strong winds or gusts.
I sure hope they decide to do some serious devil monitoring imaging now, like they tried way back when out on the plains. That is one video clip I could find room for on my shrinking harddrive! |
