Mars is currently the brightest object in the morning sky but on the planet itself a perfect storm for science is happening. It all started on May 30 and currently the storm is covering a quarter of planet. It's unclear if this storm will grow out to a global storm but what we do know is that an entire family of satellites and rovers are oberving the storm activity very close.
