Chuck Hards asked:
Has sublimation been observed yet?
Yes, the picture is in; the evaporation has been observed. - Kurt http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/06_19_pr.php http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=0&cID=85 Is it too late to put down my $20 on the bet? - Kurt
Let's hope it's water ice and not carbon dioxide. But if so, it makes the test results puzzling since not a trace of water has been detected so-far. On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 1:50 PM, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:

Joe, it wasn't fungus. Sorry! Water ice seems to be the consensus. I think we all knew it had to be there, but confirmation is nice.
