Hi All
I think we should not allow the info from yesterday's press conference to distract us from a serious revisiting of hort's image at reply #397.
I think that image is important and that it deserves greater analysis and definitely a concentrated look by the Phoenix team by means of an exhaustive series of OM, as well as AFM images, if at all possible.
Those orangish blobs should be enticed to pose for a number of 3-D shots as well as a range of 2-D shots including a number of EDF shots, to get some indication as to whether or not the hints of fluidity, symmetry, leg like processes, etc. might be real.
They look very much like and are in the same size range as the oval object that was seen in the very first OM image of air dust collected by the lander on landing.
