Mars was an important part of the mythology of early civilizations, serving as an abode for gods of fire, war, and terror.  Today mythology is no longer necessary though its quality of imagination remains as a tool of science in its quest for new knowledge about the universe. In the unique case of Mars, color no longer suggests aspects of mythical violence, The implication of the planet's color relate directly to Mars' chemistry, its environment, and to its physical/environmental history. Turn these pages and sample the red planet in all of its colorations. Leave myth behind and be prepared to think in color about the science of Mars.
