Patrick Moore reveals the full story of Mars from ancient myths to the Victorian belief in a Martian canal network, and to NASA's current plans to return a sample of Martian soil to earth. This is Mars as it really is. The possibility of life on Mars is examined in the light of the latest evidence. Our acquaintance with Mars is only just beginning.
Few planets have gripped the human imagination like Mars -- artists fantasized about it as the source of alien invasions, while scientists, glimpsing dark markings on its red surface, thought they saw "vegetation" and "canals." But the truth about Mars is as fascinating as fiction, and an undisputed expert on the subject tells the full story, from the myths of the past to the facts gleaned by modern spacecraft. This well-illustrated, fascinating account explains its place in the solar system, as well as Mars' structure, surface, mountains, volcanoes, impact craters, ice-caps, atmosphere, and weather. Careful consideration is given to the possibility of life on the planet, both past and present, in light of the latest evidence.
