• Mars is sublime

  Mars is weird. It’s small, and cold, and has a thin atmosphere that’s almost entirely carbon dioxide, and what isn’t CO 2 is nitrogen and, bizarrely, argon. So you expect to see weird landscapes. But even so, Mars has the potential to be really, really weird. Check this out: That slightly disturbing ...
