The rover has been "digging" some trenches with its wheels, uncovering fascinating structure in the disturbed material, and many people have interpreted what they've seen as evidence that the subsurface material there is clumping and glooping together like wet sand because it actually IS wet... but we'll know more later. In the meantime, feel free to look in on us at newmars, you'll be very welcome :-) Stu --part1_1d0.1aee8e30.2d76299c_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><HTML><FONT SIZE=3D2 PTSIZE=3D10 FAMILY= =3D"SANSSERIF" FACE=3D"Arial" LANG=3D"0">In a message dated 02/03/2004 18:03= :08 GMT Standard Time, dfreeman_at_fascination.com writes:<BR> <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=3DCITE style=3D"BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT= : 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">So, what's the Mars news that i= s so secret, Stromatolites?
