I've been keeping an eye on the sundial images looking for signs of a cleaning event. I've noticed some changes in the latest to be downloaded although they may be due to changes in the lighting.
A : clean patch at top of circle streak at bottom B : increased contrast from dust left behind next to mirror C : clean patch next to wire Also note the missing clumps of dust on the deck A broader view show a contrast between sol 1221 and 1227 http://207.7.139.5/mars/spirit/navcam/2007...I4P0165L0M1.JPG http://207.7.139.5/mars/spirit/navcam/2007...00P1914L0M1.JPG Has anyone heard if there has been a change in the power levels? |

I don't know where put this : here or on the Storm topic?
But, I've updated my following of sky opacity from Spirit site. Here is the picture : The rising dust quantity is particulary clear on the Sol 1248 (see Grissom Hill). -------------------- |

The rising dust quantity is particulary clear on the Sol 1248 (see Grissom Hill). Clear is actualy not the right word ! -------------------- |
