"Planet Gobbling Dust Storms
An enormous dust storm exploded on Mars three weeks
ago, shrouding the planet in haze and raising the temperature
of its atmosphere a whopping 30 degrees C.

16, 2001 : Mariner 9 arrived
at Mars in 1971 -- the first spacecraft to orbit the Red Planet.
Scientists were anxious to study the crisp new pictures it was

detail, and Mariner 9 would lift the veil at last.
Their feelings must have been mixed indeed when the first
images arrived at mission control and revealed .... a world-wide
haze. The surface of the entire planet was hidden by the biggest
dust storm anyone had ever seen! Only Olympus Mons, a giant volcano
24 kilometers high, peeked above the clouds.
After a month the dust settled and Mariner 9 mapped the Red
Planet with great success. Scientists have since learned that
huge dust storms, dwarfing desert dust clouds on Earth, are fairly
common on Mars. The Mariner 9 event still holds the record as
the thickest and longest-lasting we have observed -- but perhaps
not for long.

spotted a dust storm brewing in Hellas Basin on Mars. A day later
the storm "exploded" and became a global event.

Three weeks ago a new dust storm erupted on Mars. It's
the largest in 25 years and still growing. The storm is so big
that amateur astronomers using modest telescopes can see it from
Earth. And the cloud has raised the temperature of the frigid
Martian atmosphere by a "
