Mars is one of the most fascinating objects visible in our night sky.
Called the Red Planet, Mars is smaller than Earth and has an
atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide. The red color comes
from oxidized iron in the top soil layer. Mars has two moons, named
Phobos and Deimos, meaning fear and dread, respectively. In Roman
mythology, Mars was the god of war. Mars is one of the ultimate
destinations of mankind, as NASA has committed to landing people
on the planet sometime in the future. It would be the only other
celestial object besides the Moon to which humans have traveled.
