I dont think so. You're looking at transmission noise and very
likely high winds (300mph?). In factif I see anything in this socalled motion, I see debris moving around ... in wind? As for the whole place being "mush", those impact craters on mush are a new phenominon, and sure hold their shapes well! Brian Tung says he sees "bathrub rings", as it were. (to the left). David Knisley has not chimed in - that's a great loss. We need some averted bison here!

While the wind can reach high-speeds in the upper atmosphere, wind speeds
near the surface are quite low. For example, from http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=15096, a surface wind speed of 7 meters/second (around 15 Mph) was measured.

It could just as easily be random image noise. Is there something specific you see that unequivocally suggests flowing liquid? From lower right to middle left or so of that image, there is clear geographical structure that is not image artefact and there are features that appear like difraction from liquid that follow the geographical features and even seem to stop and bounce around pebbles. A flowing liquid seems more likely. If I were in charge of the science for this part of the project, I would be investigating this rather thoroughly. Dominic |

And just HOW are you going to do that? By now the batteys are dead or
dieing, no more photos to be taken and it'll be another 20 years before another soft landing probe is sent. -- SIAR www.starlords.org Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord "Dominic-Luc Webb" wrote in message ...

By studying the images that are now here on Earth. This could be artefact, which should be ruled out, if possible. If it appears to be a truly geographical phenomenon, etc, the nature of it should then be examined. For instance, is this liquid flow or something blowing in the wind, etc. I am quite certain many calculations will be made from these images. This is not my field, but even I am making some calculations, so I would think these images represent priceless gems for the planetary geologists.
