The Red Planet takes center stage in this entertaining, well researched, and fully illustrated pop history of Earthlings\' long relationship with Mars, and its impact on pop culture, space exploration, and our hopes for the future.Mars has been a source of fascination and speculation ever since the Ancient Sumerians observed its blood-red hue and named it for their god of war and plague. But it wasn\'t until 1877, when canals were observed on the surface of the Red Planet, suggesting the presence of water, that scientists, novelists, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs became obsessed with the question of whether there\'s life on Mars. In The War of the Worlds, H.G. Wells suggested that we wouldn\'t need to make contact with Martians--they\'d come for us--while, many years later, Nikola Tesla claimed that he did make contact. Since then, Mars has fully invaded pop culture. It has its own day of the week (Tuesday, or martis in Latin), candy bar, and iconic Looney Tunes character. It has been the subject of iconic novels and movies, from Ray Bradbury\'s The Martian Chronicles to Mars Attacks! to The Martian. And it has sparked a space-race feud between Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who both hope to send a manned mission to Mars in the near future.Filled with entertaining history, archival images, pop culture ephemera, and interviews with NASA scientists, The Big Book of Mars is the most comprehensive look at our relationship with Mars--yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Jim Bell, the scientist and photographer who controlled the image team on the Roving Mars missions, has processed 150 of the best images they generated. These photographs take readers from the launch of the robots to the alien landscape they discovered and the mysteries of the Red Planet they have helped to solve. Mars is the forth planet from the . sun. Mars has two moons in orbit. The names of the moons are called Phobos and Deimos. Mars is currently 218.27 million KMs from the sun.
