Download or read book Mars Evidence of Life Evolution Algae Viking Alh8401 Stromatolites Fungi Bones Skulls Methane Martians written by Rhawn Gabriel Joseph and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 100 photos taken by NASA of specimens resembling living or fossilized Martian organisms and evidence for the evolution of past and current life on Mars are reviewed. Billions of years ago Mars was flush with rivers, oceans, and microbiological activity as based on surface details and an analyses of Martian meteor ALH 8401. Fossilized stromatolites have also been identified on the surface of Mars and which were most likely constructed by cyanobacteria. There is evidence Martian microbes continue to flourish as based on the results from the Viking Labeled Release studies. In addition, there is a significant waxing and waning of methane within the Martian atmosphere and at ground level within the Gale Crater and whose most plausible source is living organisms. Within the Gale Crater, Martian fungi, some which have been photographed growing out of the ground and littering the surrounding surface with spores, have been identified by 70 experts in geology and biology who formed a statistically significant consensus that there is life on Mars. Moreover, fungi have been photographed growing atop the rovers Curiosity and Opportunity, and within the rover Curiosity aluminum wheels which appear to have suffered severe biodeterioration. A multi-tentacled specimen photographed within a Gale Crater crevice has also been identified as a biological organism by a majority of geologists; though if the creature is fossilized or alive is unknown. A fossilized skeletal impression of a multi-tentacled specimen has been photographed in the same general vicinity. Additionally, fungi within and beneath Gale Crater Martian rock shelters grow in size, but in some locations, completely or nearly disappear or wane in size which raises the possibility they may have been consumed by parasitic fungi or other organisms. Then there are "anomalies" photographed by NASA which resemble fossilized creatures as well as skulls, bones, skeletal remains suggestive of complex and intelligent life, including debris fields which appear to be strewn with wreckage, tools, and the remains of Martians or other aliens. What they are, is unknown. The evidence compiled in this book demonstrates that various microorganisms and eukaryotes (fungi) have successfully colonized the Red Planet and that complex Martian life forms may have evolved on Mars.

Book excerpt: Mars! The Red Planet! For generations, people have wondered what it would be like to travel to and live there. That curiosity has inspired some of the most durable science fiction, including Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and the work of Isaac Asimov. Now the award-winning anthologist Jonathan Strahan has brought together thirteen original stories to explore the possibilities. After reading Life on Mars, readers will never look at the fourth planet from the sun the same way again.
Download or read book The Big Book of Mars written by Marc Hartzman and published by Quirk Books. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive look at our relationship with Mars—yesterday, today, and tomorrow—through history, archival images, pop culture ephemera, and interviews with NASA scientists Mars has been a source of fascination and speculation ever since the ancient Egyptians observed its blood-red hue and named it for their god of war and plague. But it wasn't until the 19th century when “canals” were observed on the surface of the Red Planet, suggesting the presence of water, that scientists, novelists, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs became obsessed with the question of whether there’s life on Mars. Since then, Mars has fully invaded pop culture, inspiring its own day of the week (Tuesday), an iconic Looney Tunes character, and many novels and movies, from Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles to The Martian. It’s this cultural familiarity with the fourth planet that continues to inspire advancements in Mars exploration, from NASA’s launch of the Mars rover Perseverance to Elon Musk’s quest to launch a manned mission to Mars through SpaceX by 2024. Perhaps, one day, we’ll be able to answer the questions our ancestors asked when they looked up at the night sky millennia ago.
Download or read book Magnificent Mars written by Ken Croswell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-10-21 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mars has long offered the prospect of another living world near Earth. Although NASA's first spacecraft dashed visions of little green men tending canals, recent voyages have painted a picture of an intriguing planet that may have once resembled Earth, with warmth, water, and possibly life. Mars may answer the great question "Are we alone?"; for if Mars, like Earth, gave rise to life, then trillions of other worlds throughout the universe have surely done the same. Harvard-trained astronomer Ken Croswell set the standard for elegance and eloquence with his stunning photographic triumph, Magnificent Universe. Now, with insightful prose and astonishing images, he presents the red planet's full glory in Magnificent Mars, showing volcanoes taller than Mount Everest, spiral-shaped polar caps of ice, and a canyon system that could stretch from Ohio to California. Here is a concise synthesis of the latest research on Mars, accompanied with the very best full-color images, expertly reprocessed to look even better than NASA's own versions, from the Hubble Space Telescope, Viking, Pathfinder, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, and other spacecraft. Highlights include a foldout panorama of the Martian surface; a never-before-published, rainbow-colored topographic map; and a sequence showing a full rotation of Mars, courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope. Many of these images have never appeared in a book before. Few have ever looked so good. In lyrical prose, Dr. Croswell weaves these stupendous images into a virtual tour of Mars by organizing them around the four elements -- Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. From the northern plains of Vastitas Borealis to the towering Olympus Mons and other volcanoes of the Tharsis bulge, we explore the red planet's geology, topography, and surface. From the frigid climate to the massive dust storms that can engulf the entire globe, we examine the thin Martian atmosphere and the clues it preserves to the planet's wetter past. And, from the flood channels that spill into Chryse Planitia to the vast potential lakebed of ancient Hellas, we see stunning images of ancient rivers and floods, triggering speculation that a warm, wet Mars may have given rise to life that survives to this day. The tour concludes with a voyage to the planet's two potato-shaped moons, Phobos and Deimos, complete with rainbow-colored topographic maps. Unique color-coded tables on Mars, its atmosphere, its life history, its moons, and NASA missions to the planets appear in a useful reference section, along with a glossary and suggestions for further reading. With its large format, superb images, and compelling text, Magnificent Mars is the next best thing to standing on the red planet itself. In future years NASA will launch numerous missions to Mars, and Magnificent Mars is the definitive guide to what these spacecraft will see. Indeed, the first human explorers to Mars may want to take a copy of Magnificent Mars aboard their spaceship.
Download or read book The Atmosphere and Climate of Mars written by Robert M. Haberle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity has long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Was its climate ever conducive to life? What is the atmosphere like today and why did it change so dramatically over time? Eleven spacecraft have successfully flown to Mars since the Viking mission of the 1970s and early 1980s. These orbiters, landers and rovers have generated vast amounts of data that now span a Martian decade (roughly eighteen years). This new volume brings together the many new ideas about the atmosphere and climate system that have emerged, including the complex interplay of the volatile and dust cycles, the atmosphere-surface interactions that connect them over time, and the diversity of the planet's environment and its complex history. Including tutorials and explanations of complicated ideas, students, researchers and non-specialists alike are able to use this resource to gain a thorough and up-to-date understanding of this most Earth-like of planetary neighbours.
