Description
Award-winning author and mechanical engineer Suzanne Slade (Countdown, A Computer Called Katherine) explores the remarkable beauty of Mars in this timely photo-packed space extravaganza. For young readers eagerly following NASA's Mars Exploration Program and awaiting continued discoveries on the Red Planet. For centuries, people have been intrigued by Mars, and over time, scientists have made exciting discoveries, such as the planet's Earth-like weather and seasons. But curious earthlings want to know more. Does Mars have deserts? Volcanoes? Or signs of life? Could people live there someday? Scientists decided to take a closer look. They built a powerful camera called the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) and loaded it onto a rocket. The rocket blasted off on August 12, 2005. Seven months later, the camera began orbiting Mars. It sent back astounding, revealing photos showing the world what Mars really is. With elegant spare prose, award-winning nonfiction author and rocket engineer Suzanne Slade leads readers through stunning photos taken by the most advanced camera ever sent to another planet. A visual feast for space enthusiasts and STEAM fans that will expand readers' assumptions and understanding of Mars.
