	Martian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Martian is a hypothetical native inhabitant of the planet Mars.
		The idea of intelligent Martians was popularized by Percival Lowell and in fiction, especially by Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter (Barsoom) Series, H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds and Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles.
		Despite the observation by Alfred Wallace that Mars' atmosphere was too thin to support an Earth-like ecology, various depictions of a Martian civilization were popular throughout the 20th century.

	Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dichotomy of Martian topography is striking: northern plains flattened by lava flows contrast with the southern highlands, pitted and cratered by ancient impacts.
		Martian temperatures reach from lows of –140 °C (−220 °F) in polar winters to highs of 21 °C (70 °F) in summers.
		Martian dust devils are known to be passing over the Rovers, cleaning their solar panels, and thus extending their lifespan.

	The Martian Chronicles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Martian Chronicles is a 1950 science fiction book by Ray Bradbury that chronicles the colonization of Mars by refugee humans from a troubled Earth, and the conflict between aboriginal Martians and the new colonists.
		Several of the Martians in the building claim to be from Earth or from other planets of the solar system, and the captain slowly realizes that the Martian gift for telepathy allows others to view the hallucinations of the insane, and that they have been placed in an asylum.
		The Martians have used the memories of the astronauts to lure them into their old houses where they are killed in the middle of the night by the Martians.

	Martian Time -- FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The actual length of the sol varies throughout the Martian due to the combined effects of the axial inclination and the orbital eccentricity.
		Since a Martian sol is only three percent longer than an Earth day, the most straightforward approach is to simply stretch Earth’s units of time into slightly longer hours, minutes, and seconds (this system is used by NASA and JPL).
		Since the Martian year is nearly twice as long as the Earth year, months on Mars would need to be nearly twice as long as Earth months.

	Science Explained, explains the controversial Martian "Fossils".
		However, the chemists who identified these molecules in the Martian meteorite were concerned that the PAHs they found may have been introduced to the rock AFTER it fell to Earth.
		Carbonates are anions (negative ions because they have "too many" electrons) made of carbon and oxygen and have the chemical formula CO The researchers (McKay and his friends) proved that the carbon and oxygen isotopes show a Martian signature; their isotopes are in the ratios expected of Martian carbonates, not Earth carbonates.
		The carbonate chemistry of the Martian meteorites is not the final evidence.

		Another early Martian calendar was the joint invention of A. Douglass and W. Pickering, original members of the staff at Lowell Observatory in Arizona.
