Seems you're doing pretty well on your own now with imagining. Although the teaching apparently made you uptight. At least that's what I was taught taut means.

Some science would be nice, though. Especially something beyond taking a brief touching of the water triple point by local Martian conditions, which then reverted back to their normal conditions which prohibit liquid water on the surface, and applying that short moment as a justification for seeing large pools of standing water on the Martian surface in a false-color image.

BTW, trof is NOAA, etc. shorthand for trough. When you're sending quick text messages, whether by computer, radio, or telegraph, shorthand and slang can save you time, especially when you're in a storm.
