Therefore, we can excuse early astronomers for making mistakes or embellishing their observations. There are dark and light areas, as well as polar ice caps, but certainly not the clear features that you can see in images from orbiters around Mars. Photo courtesy NASA, Steve Lee University of Colorado, Jim Bell Cornell UniversityĪs you can see from the accompanying image, Mars has few distinguishing features when viewed from Earth, even with the best telescopes. How did it form? What's the weather like? And most important, has water or life ever existed on Mars? The next best thing to exploring Mars is reading about it, right? So get ready to launch into the fascinating world of the red planet. All manner of robots will have cruised its dusty surface long before we do. One thing we do know: Humans won't be walking on Mars anytime soon. On the other hand, the gas could also have nonbiological origins, such as the Martian volcanoes. On Earth, much of the methane is produced by living organisms, like cows, which could bode well for the possibility of life on Mars. Traces of methane have been detected in the atmosphere, but its source is unknown. Ample data seem to point toward liquid water rushing over its surface in the form of lakes, rivers and an ocean at some undetermined point in the past.
