MarsIn an image that scientists call the sharpest image ever from Earth, the planet Mars is seen as a dynamic planet covered by frosty white water ice clouds and swirling orange dust storms above a vivid rusty landscape, in this view made by the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope on June 26. Details as small as 16 km across can be seen. The colours have been balanced to give a realistic view of Mars’ hues as they might appear through a telescope. Scientists are especially interested in the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap, top left center, with another large dust storm spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in Mars’ Southern Hemisphere at lower right. — AP/PTI
