An early twilight capture of Mars with Argyre region appearing bright, although this appears to extend across quite a large area. Clyde said, “Possibly my first capture of the activity that initiated in Hellas and has extended east and west? The fine line of cloud near the SPC is persisting. I have not tried to process out the preceding limb arc.”
