Some Interesting Observations on today’s Discovery

Excerpt:

I thought I would create this post to note a few interesting observations about today’s release, and to also give a place for others to log their comments, observations, etc.

The first photos here:

There are no identifying marks on the first two photos so we do not know which piece of duct tape we are looking at. Could this be part of the Q104 that we haven’t got to study as well as the other pieces? The rust-colored marks at the top of the tape are a feature we haven’t really noticed before. The larger one appears to be a cut or scrape from a metal object, but this could be an illusion. If it is, in fact, a cut from something sharp, this would have required this piece of tape to be against something hard enough to resist enough force to allow the tape to be damaged in a longitudinal direction. That’s a curious thing to consider. Either that or the duct tape encountered something VERY sharp (much sharper than a kitchen butter knife). Also, the oddly shaped rust-colored indentation just to the left of the linear cut appears to be the indentation of a staple, or something else with similar shape. It could be that this tape was resting against the butt-end of a bent metal stiffener of some sort. Note how the ends are circular and then come to an unclosed position on the upper side. You can find this shape on cheap sheet metal shelving supports, etc.
