The Dust Storm Is Coming!

Dust storms are a thing that happen fairly frequently on mars, but occasionally they will have gigantic planet wide dust storms. Dust storms blow a lot of dust around, which can get into the equipment of our rovers. It can also block out the sun, so the rovers that are powered by solar panels have a harder time functioning.
