Mars: Dunes, Frost

Scientific paper

Observers have recently recorded "flashes" in Edom Promontorium on Mars. One hypothesis for these flashes is that they are reflections from frost on sand dunes. This study tests this hypothesis by producing frost of various types on soils that approximate the size and composition of Martian sand. Examination of this frost under various lighting angles did not reveal any specular reflections.
