Alien Anomalies

OK, so MA, do you think that it is the wind which cleans the rovers panels?
Do you also think that the "timely gust of Martian wind" cleans the lumpy rocks and flat rocks too?

I have already said that there are images of both clean and dirty panels and you have shown examples, but you have not said what you think may be the cause of this dirty/clean cycling of the panels in the rover images.

Added this:
I also find it interesting that this dusty image is Photoshopped as well as the standard processing. Original photo if you want to check it.

Now, why would they want to do that I wonder?

You appear to forget that it is not just the Rovers solar panels where we do not see much dust. The images of the ground are often fairly dirt-free and this is particularly obvious on the flat rocks that you mentioned near the top of the thread. Apart from the obvious tampering dirt-like textures, there are real occasional areas of dirt buildup next to rocks on the ground, but after all these millions of years of nothing but wind in a thin atmosphere, wouldn't you think there would be rocks covered in dirt all over the place? 

I have seen rover panels with brown dirt on them but not many lumpy rocks (as opposed to flat ones) have much dust on top of them on their horizontal surfaces. Now, our rovers have only been there for a few years, well multiply that by a few million and I would have expected a bit more build-up than we see on the top of the Martian rocks both flat and lumpy ones.

It might have to do with static electricity, but I don't know yet.You would be every housewife's dream if you could develop a stay-clean horizontal surface. You would be rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Dust, that is electrostatically charged gets repelled away from flat surfaces and settles eventually on the floor. But wait! what if the floor itself is repelling the dust? Does this mean that there will be no dust settling anywhere??? Perhaps it would continue to be blown about in the air and then get into our lungs and then what?

No, I think this is a nice idea, but not practical unfortunately.

Dust is made up of all kinds of things, bits of clothing, bits of skin, car exhaust, soot from diesel engines, bits of dirt, all different sizes, weights, etc some able to hold more charge than others, etc etc. 

HINT: Rain wouldn't clean it up that well. Regular wind wouldn't, either. This suggest that you know how it becoms clean. Do you?

There has been "wild speculation" on here that the Rovers are not really there at all or the photos are modified to place the parts of the rover in them to keep up the illusion that we have sent rovers to Mars.

You know how Google sends a car/van around the country taking images of streets in towns and cities so that it can show these on Google street views... well...maybe this is the same, and they paid someone to go around being a Rover taking snap shots of Mars. We already know there are beings living and working there, we already know there is water, vegitation, etc.

In other places on the internet there are reports that we have a secret space mission where all the black project money goes and some say the technology is actually far far in advance of what is shown to the public. There is evidence that the space shuttles and Russian unmanned tugs take up way more provisions than is needed for a 5 man crew of the ISS, and they stay up in space long enough to go to the Moon and back - if that was what was needed..

I guess this is just another item we need to mark down for future explanations - which will never come.

Probably the problem dares a simple shake-up at movement. At analyses we should remember that we haven't enough representation about Martian gravitation, about factor a substance friction on Mars, about fluidity of substance on Mars and about other trifles anyhow influencing occurring processes

1)It's those little dust devils again. They have been secretly dusting the solar panels 'cos they like to have things clean....

I'm not going to be around much, so I may not reply to messages a lot.  But I just wanted to say that the people who come up with these explanations really do not know themselves why the rovers stay so clean.  I didn't read this whole topic, so forgive me for being off-topic.  Just wanted to put that out there for you to ponder.

This opp rover nav cam took sol2556 image *notice how clean the solar panels are after all of these orbits.  

Your are right Level. This is a very big complex! 

Sorry if I ate up a little of Oppy's composite
