Transcribed Image Text:

"My battery is low and it's getting dark": The Sun as observed by the Opportunity Rover on Mars at the start of dust storm. The last picture is an estimate of what the Rover would see at the peak of the storm during the day. The approximate value of atmosphere's opacity at visible wavelengths in each image is 1,3,5,7,9,11. Figure 1 shows images taken by the NASA Opportunity rover during a dust storm in 2018. Explain what was observed in the sequence of images, and estimate the change in light levels.
