AbstractMars, Earth’s sister planet, never ceases to thrill. In the last decade, a dozen space probes and their robot explorers have been sent to the Red Planet; the next 20 years will see more voyages, each one making Mars an even more fascinating place than it was before. Planet Mars: Story of Another World offers a unique insight into this vast and complex planet. Here is the history of an evolving planet, from its birth 4.5 billion years ago until the present day.
