I am curious about the small light coloured object that is visible in Gearald's blink gif (post #57). It is located just over 3/4 of the way down and just left of center in the image(s). It changes position between the two images. It appears to be the only object displaced by the laser or perhaps the wind.

It appears to be the only object displaced by the laser or perhaps the wind. Look more closely - I see at LEAST 15 little bits of drill tailings blowing around. Infact, since making the GIF I see loads more. This surface has had nothing to do but get used to wind patterns for hundreds of millions of years. Then along we come and drill a hole in it, dump tailings on it, fire a laser at it.....you're going to see motion of that material in the wind. Doug |
