520 |a As one of the five planets that can be seen in the night sky without the aid of a telescope, Mars has been a source of fascination for millennia.

She explores how is helped solve the mysteries of planetary motion, sparked furious debates about the possibility of other life in the solar system, became an early target of space exploration and has since been a testing ground for remarkable new technologies.
