I thought the Red dot would be on Jupiter threads.

You make a great point about the Great Red Spot, because

Mars is the official Red Planet, but the Red dot also goes with Jupiter so you know what that means...

Jupiter aligns with Mars. 😉

I've seen that sign. It's where Mars is just down the road from Mars and is located right below the great red spot. Thanks for the reminder.

Anyone reading ought to bookmark this post, because it'll be proof that you saw it here first.

It all looks dumb and kooky so people don't pay attention.

And then there's the Sun that represents the place named for being the source of the Sun. It's red like Mars, strange.

Here's the latest Perseverance rover mastcam image of the week, taken on 2-16-23. Not taken by Ginny, but it shows her neighborhood.

To promote space tourism, it could use a little green.

An incredible piece of technology.

Obviously created by a group of white men

Definitely needs a little country charm to spruce up the place.

And a lemonade stand sure would help.
