		Mars and Mercury began to drift closer to the Earth than planned, and worse, their mutual gravity began to synchronize with the Earth and with one another.
		Velikovsky maintained that Mars and the other planet (which he thought was Venus) had collided near the Earth around 687 BC, sending one of the pair closer to the Sun and boosting Mars into its current orbit.

	MOVING MARS CLOSER TO THE SUN (28-Mar-2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		It would be easier to terraform Mars if it were at the earth's distance from the sun, either opposite the earth or perhaps in a Trojan orbit relative to that of the earth.
		Moving Mars with rockets would take unpleasantly long - hundreds of millions of years according to some preliminary calculations if it were feasible at all.
		In connection with the idea of moving the earth a billion years from now to get farther from an increasingly hot sun, Korycanski, Laughlin and Adams propose using a Kuiper belt asteroid to carry energy and angular momentum.

	Mars Exploration Rover Mission: The Mission
		Moving safely from rock to rock or location to location is a major challenge because of the communication time delay between Earth and Mars, which is about 20 minutes on average.
		Unlike a remote controlled car, the drivers of rovers on Mars cannot instantly see what is happening to a rover at any given moment and they cannot send quick commands to prevent the rover from running into a rock or falling off of a cliff.
		The rover is expected to move over a given distance, precisely position itself with respect to a target, and deploy its instruments to take close-up pictures and analyze the minerals or elements of rocks and soil.

	SPACE.com -- Spacewatch Friday: Reverse Course! Mars Motion Soon to be Backward
		Astronomers call this backward motion "retrograde." The shift comes as Mars is gradually becoming visible in the late evening, too, just in time for the historic close approach to Earth that will occur in late August.
		Mars is already rising before midnight, blazing in the southeast skies like a pale red or sometimes yellowish-orange lantern.
		Right now, both Earth and Mars are moving in the same direction around the Sun, but the slower one - Mars - appears to move backwards compared to the faster one, the Earth.

	Astronomy on Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mars has an axial tilt of 25.2°, quite close to the value of 23.45° for Earth, and thus Mars has seasons of spring, summer, autumn, winter as Earth does (if the axial tilt was 0° there would be no seasons).
		Thus, for temperatures on Mars, spring is approximately the mirror image of summer and autumn is approximately the mirror image of winter, and if Mars had a circular orbit the maximum and minimum temperatures would occur a couple of days after the summer and winter solstices rather than about one month after as on Earth.
		Mars Global Surveyor imaged the Earth and Moon on May 8, 2003 13:00 UTC, very close to maximum angular elongation from the Sun and at a distance of 0.930 AU from Mars.

	Mars Book Reviews
		Wells' Mars is rooted in the scientific knowledge of his time; the result is an eerily plausible novel that continues to fascinate and inspire.
		John Carter, Burroughs' protagonist, engages in endless unlikely adventures on "Barsoom" (as Mars is known to its natives), rescuing a never-ending pantheon of damsels in distress, slaying chimeric creatures, and thwarting the plans of indigenous mad scientists.
		Greg Bear's deliciously complex and scenic "Moving Mars" is a fully realized exploration of humanity's expansion into space, written with a cyberpunk's visionary panache, a solid footing in real-world science, and a narrative arc that never falters.

	Letters From Mars: Reviews
		Moving Mars has nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, Martian lifeforms, and so on; hard science fiction junkies will be pleased with Bear's treatment of all of these things, and I was pleased with their integration in a noteworthy story.
		Moving Mars has many undeniable parallels to Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (but Bear is less preachy!); in some ways, the moon and Mars reduce to the same battleground.
		Mars Direct is an inexpensive plan, costing anywhere from $5 to $30 billion, depending on the configuration, which is clearly far more likely to happen than the $450 billion NASA plan of the early 1990s.

	Mars Exploration: All About Mars: Mars in the Night Sky: Mars Retrograde
		If you were to look up in the eastern sky at the same time each night and note where Mars appears to be compared to the constellations of stars, you would find the planet a little farther east with each viewing.
		That is, Mars appears to move from west to east from one night to the next.
		Then, as we move farther along our curved orbit and see the planet from a different angle, the illusion will disappear and we will once again see Mars move in a straight line.

	Approaching Mars
		Between now and August, Mars will brighten until it "blazes forth against the dark background of space with a splendor that outshines Sirius and rivals the giant Jupiter himself." Astronomer Percival Lowell, who famously mapped the canals of Mars, wrote those words to describe the planet during a similar close encounter in the 19th century.
		Mars and the sun are on opposite sides of the sky.
		Mars and Earth go around the sun like runners on a track: fast-moving Earth on the inside lane and slower-moving Mars on the outside.

	Kathleen Ann Goonan reviews MOVING MARS
		MOVING MARS, Greg Bear's new novel, may seem, at the outset, to contain an utterly outrageous and unbelievable event.
		Mars is sparsely populated, and most Martians seem to spend their time in as provincial a fashion as those on Earth believe, including going to barn dances.
		MOVING MARS is a grand, deep look at the possibilities which pure thought might accomplish, once we better understand the universe, and ourselves.

		Mars reached a stationary point on 07/29/03 and was in opposition on 08/28/03; it's now moving in a retrograde direction.
		Mars was also moving to the east initially, but reached its first stationary point on 07/29/03 and then started moving to the west.
		If you move to 20 feet, which is twice that distance, the bulb will appear only 25% as bright - in other words, it takes four bulbs at a distance of 20 feet to equal one bulb at a distance of 10 feet.

	Moving Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moving Mars is a science fiction novel written by Greg Bear (ISBN 0-8125-2480-2).
		The main strength of Moving Mars is the development of Casseia Mujumdar, the main character.

		Rebelling against her conservative family, the colonists who occupy Mars, Casseia takes part in the brewing revolution sparked by student protests in the year 2171.
		Meanwhile, her love life is in a very precarious situation, with her beloved Charles Franklin's seeking to merge his mind with the most advanced artificial mind.
		"Moving Mars is an accomplished, thoroughly mature novel that should be placed at the top of anyone's 'to be read' stack."

	CHAOS AND MOVING MARS TO A BETTER CLIMATE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The specific idea of this article is to move the planet Mars to an orbit at the same distance from the sun as the earth's orbit.
		The scheme is to use a tame asteroid that makes several thousand encounters with Mars, Venus and Jupiter to exchange energy and angular momentum among these planets, thus moving Mars to the desired orbit.
		Moving Mars will take some tens of thousands of years, but not millions of years.

	Moving Towards Mars
		Just a few years ago the very phrase "manned mission to Mars" was anathema to most everyone, but after a few crummy movies and with an operational International Space Station, it seems that people's minds are opening once more.
		Being the dedicated advocate of manned Mars exploration that I am, I was suddenly overwhelmed by a monstrous fear in the pit of my stomach.
		The fear was that with all this sudden talk, seemingly out of nowhere, the media was going to overinflate the whole business (as it so often does) and the sight of astronauts weakened after months in microgravity would suddenly burst the bubble.

	Amazon.fr : Moving Mars: Livres en anglais: Greg Bear (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In this 1995 Nebula Award-winning novel, a revolution is transforming the formerly passive Earth-colony of Mars.
		While opposing political factions on Mars battle for the support of colonists, scientists make a staggering scientific breakthrough that at once fuels the conflict and creates a united Mars front, as the technically superior Earth tries to take credit for it.
		Beginning as a coming-of-age story, with Casseia encountering corruption as well as courage and determination in a student uprising, the narrative then becomes a fine, taut and realistic political novel, as Casseia travels to Earth as part of an ambassadorial retinue, and later serves as second in leader Ti Sandra's push for Martian unification.
