Probably Mars. Out of the two it's naked-eye visible. It should have a faint pinkish tint.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You don't get more time, you just die one second earlier by calendar time. Tongue

I set a timer on the phone, hope it's clear tonight
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
