This winter, particularly in late February and early March, Mars will be a prominent object in the southern night sky.

Spacecraft have shown us a bitterly cold, dry planet, with huge volcanoes, vast canyons, craters and ancient river valleys.

Far from being a world where nothing ever happens, Mars has landslides, whirlwinds and great dust storms. Fasten your seat belts for a trip to the Red Planet.
