You're saying this discoloration may be water, but you still do not say why this is.
Here's what we know so far:
This is a false color image.
There is discoloration.
Now, what we don't is what filters were selected for the false color image. This is important in interpreting how to view this image.
The most likely senerio is that the filters are set up and assigned colors to make certain minerals stand out.
Why does this not occur to you?

Grand Lunar, your fixation over false color and "blue water" is beginning to get wearing.
The issue is
not about the color.
Again.
I encouraged Dfrank to present his case here because, off the top of my head, I don't know all the science to refute his claims.
It is NOT about the COLOR.
I have seen all the hortonheardawho photos and discussed them.
IT LOOKS LIKE WATER. color or not.
Now I know it isn't water but giving good hard science to convince Dfrank that his eye is recognizing an image that isn't there proved too difficult.
It
does look like water though and I was hoping that for all the people out there that think they see water too, they might find good scientific answers to why it
isn't. Sadly, although Dfrank presents his case well one on one, he seems to flub it on the forum. Stage fright? I dunno. Hes getting better.
But deviating constantly to the color issue when it isn't an issue is distracting.
