This movie clip shows several gusts and whirlwinds carrying dust as they
move toward NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit. It consists of frames
taken by the navigation camera on Spirit during the afternoon of the
rover's 501st martian day, or sol (May 31, 2005). The camera was facing
into the wind. Contrast has been enhanced for anything in the images that
changes from frame to frame, that is, for the dust moved by wind.
