It’s been quite a week for space exploration and some truly

“wonderful active regions in exquisite detail,” according to
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. Despite the fact that
scientists feared GPS and plane disturbances, the storm’s
effects were quite soft. The Martian Dust Devil Dust Devils are
spectacular sights indeed, and when they occur on Mars – things
