Me too. On further review, however, there's some reason to believe it's
the current dust storm. Not sure; it was certainly in the right place for
Argyre, but I think that's also where the storm is brewing.
        Anybody know?

Until corrected, I'm assuming it was Chryse and the end of Acidalia. Which
might make a decent name for a band.

Held my attention! With reasonable seeing and such a good opposition,
they're all good sides (as long as the storm doesn't get too carried
away).
