The 2018 Mars global dust storm was a massive and planet-wide dust storm that affected the surface of Mars between May and July 2018. It became one of the most intense, discussed and widespread storms in the history of Mars observations, with its impact felt across the entire planet. The storm was notable for its rapid development and extreme size, eventually enveloping the planet entirely and lasting for several weeks.[1]
