Re: did our solar system have life before us?

Well for one thing "canali" I think. And it's basically an odd geophysical feature of Mars, not a real "canal" like the Eerie or something. And the "straight" canals don't really exist. They are likely billion year old dry river beds.

In fact, I seem to remember that even though Lowell claimed to have seen a bunch of them, people haven't ever been able to see them again.

edit: Sorry about that somebody named Schiaperelli. Lowell just drew a bunch of extra ones that never really existed.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
