Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars , imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell , whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Mars Timeline of Discovery: 1570BC thru 1799. The Mars Timeline of Discovery is a work in progress. Its goal is to give the reader a general feel for the progress in humankind's understanding of the planet Mars. The timeline is divided into two parts. Part 1, this document, covers the years 1570BC thru 1799. Part 2 covers the years 1800 thru 1962.
Nov 30, 2012 · Lacking plate tectonics and crustal recycling, the long-term evolution of the crust-mantle system of Mars is driven by mantle convection, partial melting, and silicate differentiation. Volcanic landforms such as lava flows, shield volcanoes, volcanic cones, pyroclastic deposits, and dikes are observed on the martian surface, and while activity was widespread during the late Noachian and ...

Oct 22, 2009 · Mars is the only body in the Solar System, apart from the Earth and Moon, to which we devote more than one chapter in this enquiry of planetary crusts. Information now available for Mars, from telescopic observations, orbiters, landed missions and martian meteorites, is enormous and accordingly details now known about the martian crust are considerable.
Formation of Mars. Accretion. Mars, along with the rest of the Solar System, formed ∼4.5 × 10 9 years (10 9 years = 1 Ga) ago out of a cloud of gas and dust called the solar or protoplanetary nebula.
