"In 1822, Franz von Gruithuisen thought he saw a giant city and evidence of agriculture on the moon, but astronomers using more powerful instruments refuted his claims. Gruithuisen also believed he saw evidence of life on Venus. "Ashen light" had been observed on Venus, and he postulated that it was caused by a great fire festival put on by the inhabitants to celebrate their new emperor. Later he revised his position, stating that the Venusians could be burning their rainforest to make more farmland."

"For a time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was believed that there were canals on Mars. These were a network of long straight lines that appeared in drawings of the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet"]planet[/ame] Mars in the equatorial regions from 60° N. to 60° S. Lat., first observed by the Italian astronomer [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Schiaparelli"]Giovanni Schiaparelli[/ame] during the opposition of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1877"]1877[/ame], and confirmed by later observers. Schiaparelli called these canali, which was translated into English as "canals" (see below). The Irish astronomer Charles E. Burton made some of the earliest drawings of straight-line features on Mars, although his drawings did not match Schiaparelli's."

He was hardly alone in being wrong, still maybe those NASA probes will prove him right, eh Froog?

i'm expecting some kind of radioactive mole men living just under the surface, possibly worshipping a giant mole type creator called "The Great xyzryntc".
