Now that we're coming through another Martian winter at Gusev, anyone want to wager a Mars Bar on what sol we will be seeing our first dust devil this season?

New Dust Devil on spirit pancam
 Edit: Too excited about DD to know my pancam from my navcam--but I linked to the correct image.

QUOTE (Floyd @ Feb 9 2007, 06:35 AM)  New Dust Devil on spirit pancam I love the composition of that photo. The dusty solar panels are almost reaching out for the little breeze passing by, just beyond reach. The picture is crying out for some of Stu's poetry. 
-------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.
