Very intriguing image, Jack. I wonder what I'm seeing here? Surely not the documentation of the Plate Tectonics! Green copper rust removed with some chemical liquid? I have no idea, but nice image nevertheless!

It was floating on a large puddle. Some kind of algae I think. Maybe a new world taking shape?

Thanks for the disclosure. Even after I knew it was algae, the image still looks mysterious. :)

This is Cyanobacteria, which in common parlance are called Blue-green Algae although they are not algae at all. They are on the other hand extremely ancient life forms, precursors of later life on Earth and by their photosynthesis led to the the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere. Thus without them mankind wouldn't exist either. Food for thought. Literally, as these organisms have high protein content and might be a future food source.

Wow, that makes the image even more intriguing!
