Mars dust storm - When will it start to set?

[Victor Boesen]

As the title says, when will the dust storm on mars begin to set, so we can begin to see the surface details? Many people on here has been complaining about it, so I was wondering if this opposition will get ruined by the dust storm?

I observed Mars for the fisrt time through a scope last night. It was nothing but a very bright almost yellow shimmering disc! Couldn't resolve any sort of features at all unlike previously in the evening with Jupiter and Saturn. Was a bit of a disappointment to say the least!

Global dust storms like this current one can last months apparently. NASA is saying no sign of it ending yet.

We're complaining about it down here. But I'm sure that little rover is having a worse time!

But then.... it's pretty cool to see a Global Dust Storm!

I agree with Ags, a global storm, how awesome is that?

So it’ll end in about 14 inches then? Great!
