I read that the dust storm started in Chryse, which is due North of
Argyre, right? But I'm not sure how big it is or where it is now.

What I saw seemed to me to make sense for Argyre, and this "light area"
didn't extend up as far North as I would have thought Chryse should be.
 But I find that I get easily confused about stuff like this when it
isn't "front and center" -- and this feature was both pretty far South
and not near the CM, leaving lots of room for doubt in my mind.

Yeah, but even if the storm gets worse, it has already been a better
opposition than 2001.

Cheers,
