The Red Planet

Last night was invited to take a peek through an amateur astronomer's telescope not too far from here in South Lake Tahoe as the solar system has always been a fascinating subject for me. There are many who believe that Tahoe has long been a favorite place for the exterrestials because we have so many vacation rentals or second homes. Also it's relatively easy to spot Lake Tahoe high above the earth's atmosphere and when you hear about the occasional sighting of a UFO in Oregon you realize that they mistook Crater Lake for Lake Tahoe. Happens. Was looking at Mars last night at about 4am before I headed off to do radio and was mildly shocked at what I saw. I know that the Rover has been up there for some time that Voyager has been sending back some incredible images from outer space but to actually see the surface of Mars was amazing. I think this is what they call 'the face' on the Red Planet. I'll have to go back again soon to see whose face is on the planetary surface of Uranus. Probably Bush I'm guessing.
