Hold Your Horses!
It's late because the whole planet is dusty, but surely coming soon.
Mars is the fourth planet of the solar system from the Sun. This "red" planet is most studied planet among all other solar system planets except the Earth. There are many attempts have been made so far by human society to discover the Martian atmosphere, surface and any other unknown features such as moons of Mars by sending spacecrafts. There are no life on Mars now. It also turned out that the magnetic field of Mars is very poor than the intrinsic magnetic field of Earth.
“Scientists Track “Perfect Dust Storm” on Mars”
Two dramatically different faces of our Red Planet neighbor appear in these comparison images showing how a global dust storm engulfed Mars with the onset of Martian spring in the Southern Hemisphere. When NASA's Hubble Space Telescope imaged Mars in June, the seeds of the storm were caught brewing in the giant Hellas Basin (oval at 4 o'clock position on disk) and in another storm at the northern polar cap.
Both images are in natural color, taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2.

Haziness due to dust!
Haziness due to dust!
In June 2018 NASA’s Curiosity Rover used its Mast Camera, or “Mastcam”, to snap photos of the intensifying haziness the surface of Mars, caused by a massive dust storm. The rover is standing inside Gale Crater looking out to the crater rim. The photos span about a couple of weeks, starting with a shot of the area before the storm appeared.
