On May 22, Earth will fly between Mars and the sun for the first time in two years. It now appears in a triangle with Saturn and Antares. Recent images here!

[snip] The video above – by Jeremy Evans – shows the Milky Way Rising with Saturn, Mars, and Antares from Vermillion Cliffs National Monument near the Utah/Arizona border.

It’s very bright right now. A week or so ago I thought it was Jupiter.

Earth is ALWAYS between Mars and the Sun...

But sometimes the Sun is between Mars and Earth. It's called Mars' superior conjunction, next one is July 2017.

This is a PC Dejah Thoris. They gave her Black features. John Carter was a Cinfederate officer. Dejah looking like a black would not be in context of the time of the story. He skin would have a reddish tint, not olive. Her features would be European... Narrow nose etc. She did have black hair as described by Burroughs, but this pic of Dejah ks PC

“It now appears in a triangle with Saturn and Antares.”

Any point along with two other points forms a triangle. I had to say that.

Yes. And their inhibitions that lead them to cover certain body parts are exactly like those on Earth. Hooodathunkit?
