Since our first glimpse of Mars as a celestial body in the night sky, the red planet has fascinated people. From the very beginning, the planet's scarlet tint distinguished it from its glinting brothers, all of which were fascinating in their own ways, but none of which traced a ruddy arc across the sky above Earth. At first, astronomers mistakenly believed that a thriving Martian civilization was responsible for the fascinating patterns and landscapes that telescopes first showed in the late 1800s. In the decades that followed, orbiters sent back much more precise data about the surface and atmosphere of the planet.
