	Mars - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Mars has only a quarter the surface area of the Earth and only one-tenth the mass, though its surface area is approximately equal to that of the Earth's dry land because Mars lacks oceans.
		The datum for Mars is defined by the fourth-degree and fourth-order spherical harmonic gravity field, with the zero altitude defined by the 610.5 Pa (6.105 mbar) atmospheric pressure surface (approximately 0.6% of Earth's) at a temperature of 273.16 K. This pressure and temperature correspond to the triple point of water.
		Mars Odyssey determined that there are vast deposits of water ice in the upper three meters of Mars' regolith within 60° latitude of the south pole.

	Mars
		The southern hemisphere of Mars is predominantly ancient cratered highlands somewhat similar to the Moon.
		Mars' thin atmosphere produces a greenhouse effect but it is only enough to raise the surface temperature by 5 degrees (K); much less than what we see on Venus and Earth.
		Mars is a difficult but rewarding target for an amateur telescope though only for the three or four months each martian year when it is closest to Earth.

	MARS - ENCHANTED LEARNING SOFTWARE
		Mars, the red planet, is the fourth planet from the sun and the most Earth-like planet in our solar system.
		The north and south poles of Mars are covered by ice caps composed of frozen carbon dioxide and water.
		Mars is 1.524 times farther from than the sun than the Earth is. It averages 141.6 million miles (227.9 million km) from the sun.

	SPACE.com -- Hubble Makes Best Mars Globe Photos Ever
		Mars' orange tint, sometimes seen as red, is created by a global coating of iron oxide, commonly called rust.
		UV pictures of Mars can't be made from the surface of Earth, because that wavelength of light is filtered by Earth's atmosphere.
		It is winter in the north of Mars, and a hood of cold polar clouds covers the northern cap.

		The area, covered at a resolution of 10 to 15 metres per pixel, was equivalent to the land coverage of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Austria combined, he said.
		It is still very early in the two-year mission of Mars Express, but project scientists say they are thrilled with the initial returns of data they are getting from the spacecraft.
		The Mars Express data amounts to a confirmation, because it arrives at the same conclusion but by a different technique: its Omega spectrometer analyses visible and infrared light rather than the gamma part of the energy spectrum.

	The Mars Volta Mp3 Music Downloads, Videos, Lyrics, Photos, News. Mars Volta Rock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Mars Volta is a modern-day jam band, and at one of its live shows, the audience shouldn't be surprised to find itself entranced for 20 minutes as the guys present a nonstop display of their collective talents, led by Rodriguez-Lopez and his defiance of the laws of guitar physics.
		The Mars Volta's stint with System kicks off on August 4th in Long Beach, California, just five weeks after the band was forced to cancel the rest of their European tour due to Rodriquez-Lopez's severe abdominal pains.
		Sure, the Mars Volta have made some minor concessions to the past three decades of musical progress — by incorporating hints of techno and punk — but for the most part, these guys are as anachronistic as a dusty CB radio perched beneath a Farrah Fawcett poster.

		This sharp, natural-color view of Mars reveals several prominent Martian features, including the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons; a system of canyons called Valles Marineris; an immense dark marking called Solis Lacus; and the southern polar ice cap.
		Because Mars was much closer during this year's rendezvous, the planet will appeared 23 percent larger in the sky.
		Mars will not be this close again until 2287.

	What About Mars?
		Mars is a little farther from the Sun -- an average of 52% farther, at 227,920,000 km.
		The wind on Mars can blow up to 80 mph, but because the air is so thin there it doesn't push dust, spacecraft, and bicycles nearly as hard as an 80 mph wind does on earth.
		The Mars 2 lander's retro-rockets didn't fire when they were supposed to, and it burned up due to a steep entry into the atmosphere.

		Although the Martian northern plains are often considered to be "flat" or "featureless," the MOC has shown that, at the scale of a few tens of meters (tens of yards), these plains aren't at all "boring".
		Some Mars scientists have speculated that removal of ground ice could cause the pitting, but whether this is actually the case is unknown and cannot be known with any certainty from the photograph alone.
		One of the earliest results of the Mars Global Surveyor MOC investigation shortly after the spacecraft began to orbit Mars in 1997 was the discovery of layered rock outcrops reaching deep down into the Martian crust in the walls of the Valles Marineris.

		This flight path geometry allowed HiRISE only 10 minutes of useful imaging time during each of its two orbits, and test images had to be taken at around 7:30 a.m., when the sun was barely over Mars' horizon, from a distance of some 900 to 1,500 miles (1,500 to 2,500 kilometers) away.
		MRO has started to implement "aerobraking" — dipping repeatedly into the upper atmosphere of Mars about five hundred times to scrub off speed and to drop into successively more circular orbits.
		The $720 million MRO mission is managed for the NASA Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C. by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
