Picture above:
>Mars' relative size in the years 1948-1963. With this demonstration it is understandable why Mars' surface features are the easiest to study them at an opportune moment, as now in 1956. Each Mars circle also has the visual diameter laid in arc seconds. The central circle shows Mars' relative size when on the opposite side of earth in it's orbit
Picture on the Right:
>The similarity of Mars' physical circumstances to earth as well as the long circulating theories of the Mars canals being artificial have given life to thoughts of highly developed life on Mars. Pictured here is the french astronomer Flammarion's interpretation of a Martian human, who has large lungs and ears due to the thin atmosphere, and an organ of "the sixth sense" in the middle of the forehead.
