As the “newcomers” went to Mars to rescue the people that once lived there to escape a world war, they met the martians. But yet to know that these martians, were once the people that lived there many years ago. The newcomers thought that the martians were friendly but what they didn't know is that the martians were secretly trying to infect the newcomers with a plague that would turn them into a new form of martian. A destructive type of martian. So, the martians invited the newcomers to dinner

Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is a rocky, solid planet and is therefore called a terrestrial planet. It was once volcanic. As such, it... Due to a thin atmosphere, the surface also shows evidence of many impacts, as it has many craters. Temperatures can vary between 90 and 700 Kelvin. Because of the wildly fluctuating conditions caused by these temperatures, and also due to any life-sustaining elements (although there is some evidence of water at the poles), there is almost certainly no

Mars is not a habitable planet. If it was going to be habitable, there would have to be lots of changes to be made on Mars for anything or anyone to survive. Mars is a very cold place, about -23 degress C. For this reason neither organisms nor humans would be able to survive in this type of temperature. Penguins and polar bears would be able to live there due to the freezing weather. There is a thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide which would make it difficult to survive without being able to

I was impressed by how the artist personified each planet giving every planet a different tempo, instrument combination, and rhythm. My favorite songs were Mars and Mercury because Mars has faster tempo with strong horn and percussion sections and Mercury has an uplifting pace and pleasant string instruments. When I started listening to Mars I visualized an inter-galactic battle taking place with the song playing in the background. I didn't like Venus or Saturn all that well because of the somber

Life on Mars Mars (Greek: Ares), our fourth planet in the Solar system, is named after the ancient roman god of war, Mars. People also called it the “Red Planet” as its surface if covered by iron oxide (loose dust and rock) which gives it a red bright rust colour surface appearance. During the Solar System's formation, Mars was created out of the protoplanetary disk. Also, Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos. Mars’ size is relatively smaller than our Earth and approximately half the size

from its chemical make up, it was a portion of Mars, also the presence of complex organic molecules and small globules resembles those found on earth. Yet scientists no longer agree that their structures are from microorganisms even though many may disagree. Explorations on Mars’s surface failed to find evidence of life. But in June and July of 2003, two spacecrafts launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration were launched on Mars to explore its surface for signs of life. Much

Revenge of Pluto I usually don’t have the habit of waking up early in the morning. But there was somebody on the verge of breaking my door if I did not wake up and open the door myself. The sun was just rising and I could not help but think, when was the last time I woke up so early. The person who was knocking my door wanted to interview me and with good reason. He was from one of those crazy institutions which believed that aliens exist. I actually never saw anybody getting so excited to see

Scientists believe Mars was wetter and warmer in the past, so they believe there used to be life on Mars. Mars has polar ice caps, so scientists believe it has water beneath its surface. A heat source and water source are needed for life, and Mars at one time had both. Hydrothermal vents on Earth have an environment like no other. Organisms can survive in this environment without sunlight as an energy source. Many scientists believe these vents are where life on Earth originated. Mars has signs of past

“Mars” Physical Science April 9, 2012 When a person thinks of Mars he may think of many wonders. Some dream of traveling Mars while others simply wonders if there is life on Mars. I will talk about both dreaming and life on Mars, but first I would like to talk about the history of Mars. In 1968, NASA struggled to get the Apollo program back on track in the wake of the devastating launch pad fire on January 27, 1967, that had taken the lives of astronauts Gus Grissom, Edward White, and Roger
