About This Quote
Mars is a brilliant red, shining star that hovers in the night sky. It is the second planet from the Sun. Mars has long been known for its reddish appearance and it has inspired many people to become interested in space and astronomy. It's the only other planet besides Earth that we can see with our eyes, and it's also the brightest object in our night sky.
The appearance of Mars has captivated humans for centuries, and people have used this attraction to their advantage: they have named numerous things after this magnificent red planet. For example, there's Mars, the Martian calendar system (which was formerly used by NASA), and even Mars bars!
