Comments: More images of Mars on August 8, 2026 between 12:35 UT and 13:54 UT to follow up the possible dust activity. Yes, there is a change in Chryse area and moving northward between August 7th and August 8th images which they are posted here. I am hoping someone can follow this event. One problem is that Chryse area is visible only in daylight for observers in the USA and it's uncertain if anyone would attempt to image Mars under such conditions!
