Intriguing and beautiful imagery...
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/sim/science-2011-aug-4.php http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/news/mro20110804.html Of course i hope its water, but somehow wouldnt we expect dampened dust to be cohesive enough to clump together and change properties enough to over time alter the topography subtly but enough that we shoudl see some sort of evidence of that after repeated episodes over eons? With the analogous snow scenario posted above you wouldnt get any clumping or change of cohesion so that seems more persuasive. thanks for posting that. |
