Re: Mars pictures from MOM, a commentary
thank you, indophile. did you check out the mars weather report?
Martian weather between 15 September 2014 and 21 September 2014: Regional storm activity picked up in the northern hemisphere, with large storms occurring from Utopia to Arcadia and arcuate-shaped storms following the Acidalia storm track into Chryse. Even in the caldera of Olympus Mons, a small spiral-type, "Lee" dust storm occurred this past week. Dust-lifting was less active in the southern hemisphere, but isolated local storms were observed in Noctis, Aonia, and Noachis. Diffuse water ice clouds were present over the Tharsis volcanoes, Tempe, and over the western rim of Hellas basin. Skies remained storm-free over the Opportunity rover site in Meridiani and the Curiosity rover site in Gale Crater.
** guess I'm behind the times. didn't realize there was water on the planet.

Me too. A volcano spewing water! It may look like Ganga being ejected from Shiva's mattes!

It may not necessarily be water, but something which LOOKS like water. I don't think there is conclusive evidence yet that water exists on Mars in any form (including in or spewing out of volcanos).
