    Verde Valley News – From the dawn of human history, that red dot in the night sky has fascinated humankind. Celebrated by cultures in Asia, Europe and the Americas as the God of Warfare, reputed home of suspicious canals and little green men, Mars is an enduring source of science, mythology and wonder. Yavapai College’s Verde Campus OLLI program invites everyone to a free Munch ‘n Learn that explores the celestial neighbor that has captured human imaginations for centuries. “A Guided Tour of Mars” lifts off Thursday, April 18, from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m., in room M-137 of YC’s Verde Valley Campus.

    Today, Mars is our most studied astronomical object. NASA alone has landed eight crafts on it, and the photographs and other data from these missions have been illuminating and spectacular. But still, questions linger: How much water is there, and where is it? Was there any evidence of life on ancient Mars? Can humans “terraform” Mars and live on it? Join Boston University Physics Professor Dr. Shri Srikanth for a review of some of the spectacular pictures and videos and discover what we’ve learned about our sister planet and our own blue dot in the sky.

    O Captain, My Captain, My Trump

    By Sanford Bach

    When Donald J. Trump descended that golden escalator, America witnessed not just a man — but destiny in a red tie. The Founding Fathers stirred in their marble graves, whispering, “Finally… our sequel has arrived.”
