Could Mars be a future home for humans? Were there ever aliens on the Red Planet? How does Mars compare to our own planet? Over the coming years, Mars is set to be at the centre of space exploration. With many manned and unmanned missions planned over the next ten years, our distant neighbour now seems closer than ever. The story of Mars takes a fascinating look at the history, geography, astronomy and science of the red planet. Natural wonders and extreme phenomena, such as the solar system's tallest mountain, its smallest moon, dust devils and super volcanoes are all explored, as well as the possibility of life. Beyond this, the book looks at the cultural and historical impact of Mars, as well as its potential as a home for humans. Using photos from NASA's stunning archive, this book is the must-have guide to Mars for all children fascinated by space.
