Hi Horace, From Horace,It takes a while to register these three photos for toggling, but the movement of some of this stuff over this 5 minute period is extraordinary because it is gradual across the three frames, and is not due to the change of focus that occurs between the 3 frames. All the frames were illuminated in green. http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=29352&cID=274 http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=29361&cID=274 http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=29376&cID=274 Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/I'm puzzled. I've toggled through these three photos numerous times, and what I personally see is NASA attempting to get better more focused images of the martian granules. Any "movement" I perceive is a deliberate but gradual change in focal length from the lander's camera, that along with a slight change in the angle of the camera. The martian granules themselves, however, do not appear to have moved and/or changed, insofar as I can see. Can you clarify?

Yes. Consider just the very center of the 2nd two photos, 29361 and 29376 above (the first photo, 29352 is pretty far out of focus). There is a bunch of stuff that moves to the left and also rotates. This is *not* due to a change of focus, because background stuff gets exposed and and some covered up by the motion. Following are two snippets that can be played as a slideshow to get a feel for the motion and what the object looks like:
