NASA's Perseverance Rover Captured Dust Storm On Mars || Martian Wind Sweeping Dust On Mars

NASA's Perseverance Rover Captured Dust Storm On Mars || Martian Wind Sweeping Dust On Mars!

This is an interesting video produced from NASA provided imaging by Physics Insight and shows the sequential imaging of a Martian dust storm, which appears to be in an adjacent crater area... The resolution isn't the best as I don't believe the video editors used all the sequenced images available... This video also shows a drill bit in the brick ground "plates" prior to or just after samples were collected that will be prepared for pick up on a later Mars Mission...

Here is the detail description by Physics Insight as provided by NASA...

"NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a gust of wind sweeping dust across the Martian plain beyond the rover’s tracks on June 18, 2021 (the 117th sol, or Martian day, of the mission).
On July 10, 2021 (the 138th sol, or Martian day, of its mission) the robotic arm on NASA’s Perseverance rover reached out to examine rocks in an area on Mars nicknamed the “Cratered Floor Fractured Rough” area. Scientists are particularly interested in the flat rocks that appear light in color (nicknamed “paver rocks”).
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took the image of a rock target nicknamed “Foux” using its WATSON (Wide Angle Topographic Sensor for Operations and eNgineering) camera, part of the SHERLOC instrument on the end of the rover’s robotic arm. The image was taken July 11, 2021, the 139th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.: NASA/Physics Insight
