I know it looks like West Texas... But it is actually Mars.

Based on this webpage, I think they are fairly common:Neophyte wrote:My goodness, we get weather reports from other planets now, complete with media? This is amazing!
Data, thanks for sharing. All kidding aside, this is exciting news! Is it just a case of the camera in the right place at the right time, or is this weather common on Mars?

I have probably seen every video and image of mars to date.
I'd like to see something more exotic... they remind me of the soviet Venus images... dust...rocks and little else. I'm more interested in IO.... and some other of jupiters moons. Would love to see landers get down in there.
Also there were some probes a while back that were supposed to land and place microphones on mars... so we could 'listen' to the sounds there (well wind I guess). that would have been neat. But the probes failed.
