NASA seems to have taken an interest in the white blobs on the
struts. On Sol 97, they took no less than 8 photos of the same spot,
elevation 89.076, azimuth 355.518, with times varying from 02:09:16
to 03:56:48. See:

It appears that the globular drops are on another strut or two also.
(The strut in the foreground appears to have a few blobs.)

Maybe one of the oven/chemical experiments sprung a leak and dripped
on the strut. The water would have frozen and sublimated, leaving
solids behind. The spots
Why, in 84 days, is a large ice deposit only in that one spot? Why is
the frost not somewhat uniform? Keep in mind the photo is upside
down. The ground is at the top. The pictures make a lot more sense
when flipped 180 degrees. The strut in the foreground is also in the
dark, yet has
Something else that is inconsistent with condensing ice forming on
the location in question is that such ice typically forms in a
clearly crystalline form, a kind of hoar frost. The white stuff on
the strut looks smooth and globular. It might be said that the stuff
is melting, but then

Could be, but it seems to me unlikely, given there is no frost on
anything else. A very light morning frost does occur on the ground
there at times. If anything, the before picture looks like the
ground is
unless the differeing heat exchange of the metal causes ot to build
frost from the vapor dissapearing from the ground. ive seen that
effect with railings here in arizona in the dry dry winters.
