Description: |
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. |
Synopsis: |
An undisputed expert tells the full story of the "red planet", from age-old myths to the facts gleaned by modern spacecraft. This well-illustrated, fascinating account covers Mars's place in the solar system, geological formations, atmosphere, and weather. Most important of all: Does life exist there? Find out what the latest evidence suggests. |
