About Mars
The planet Mars which is the fourth planet from the Sun has been perhaps the most written about planet in the solar system. Numerous books, movies and articles have come out over the years about the red planet and many space missions have been launched toward Mars to study this fascinating world. There have been several missions sent to Mars during the past 20 years the most recent being the Mars InSight lander which came down on November 26, 2018 to study the Martian surface. The purpose of all these missions is to study the geology of Mars, its atmosphere, evidence of water and possible life, p;ast or present.
Along with the various space missions sent to Mars, the internet system has seen a number of websites go up relating to this planet. Below are some of these websites that will provide you with much information which I hope you will enjoy.
