Hubble Space Telescope's highest-resolution image of Mars during its recent opposition. The image showcases Martian ice caps, sand, gravel, and a large dust storm emanating from Hellas Basin, which later grew into a planet-wide event. This detailed view allows for comparison of Martian and Earth weather patterns.
