The planet Mars has always captured the human imagination. There is its
redness. We know now that the color comes from chemical reactions that
long ago locked up Mars's oxygen in reddish minerals on its surface, causing
the "rusting" of the planet. To the ancient people, the red color meant only
one thing: blood. From the earliest times, Mars has been associated with
bloodshed. Even the astronomical symbol for Mars, a circle with an arrow
pointing at 2 o'clock, is supposed to represent a shield and a spears.
As astronomers used telescopes, Mars mythology grew. It was the Italian
astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli who, in 1877, produced the most lasting bit
of Martian folklore. He saw what he took to be long, thin, unnaturally straight
lines on the Martian surface. He called them canali, a word that can translate
into English either as "channels" or "canals." Unfortunately, the latter
translation was used, and the canals of Mars were born. Of course, if there
were canals, there had to be canal builders, so once more Mars was peopled
with all manner of intelligent life forms!
In 1965 Mariner 4 sent back first close-up pictures of the Martian surface. Not
only were there no canals, but Mariner 4 and the spacecraft that followed
revealed a planet that was a cratered, lifeless desert. We have subsequently
learned that Mars is home to Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the entire
solar system, and to a canyon system stretching for almost 3,000 miles
around the Martian equator. The atmosphere is extremely thin (equivalent to
that at 130,000 feet above Earth) and made up almost entirely of carbon
dioxide. The surface is cold, almost never getting above freezing even at the
summertime equator.
Perhaps the greatest surprise were the photographs from Mariner 9 in 1971
and 1972 that showed channels on the surface. Now these were not
Schiaparelli's canali there's, no way these channels could be seen by even
the most powerful earthbound telescope. They are unmistakable water
courses, however. There is no water in them now, but they trace out the path
of water that flowed in the past. They are like the dry river of the American
West, through which water from rain flows, but which are dry most of the
time. Water once ran on the surface of Mars.
New explorations on Mars by the spacecraft Pathfinder, due to arrive on the
planet's surface in 1997, are planned to give scientists more information
about possible past life on Mars. One of Pathfinder's missions will be to lay
the foundation for future efforts to find fossil remains of living things. The
landing site for the Mars Pathfinder is going to be the mouth of a flood
channel called Ares Vallis.
