I think, there are clouds in the sky! I saw clouds on some Viking-Pictures, but never before on MER-Pics ... biggrin.gif

In the Black Rock Desert last year I saw a sunset during a dust storm which reminded me of being on Mars. I was particularly reminded of similar Martian views by the overall brightness contours and the blueish glow near the Sun, which was eventually dimmed enough so one could directly look at it. Aside from the nearby discreet dust clouds the resemblence to Mars surface images in the later view is striking. Another common sight in the Black Rock Desert are dust devils, which hopefully will be seen by MER-A.
