This Day That Age
What astronomers in 1907 thought was a canal of Mars has grown into an area of 300,000 square miles, Dr. E.C. Slipher of Bowell Observatory said at Flagstaff (in Arizona). "It has grown so big that we cannot call it a canal any more. It is certainly a new region. If it is vegetation, the ground has somehow changed and become more favourable for it," Dr. Slipher said. He was speaking about a photograph of the planet released in Arizona which the Observatory took in South Africa in 1944. He hoped new photographs to be taken next year would show whether there was life on Mars.
