Humans have been observing Mars for thousands of years, It’s always had a element of mystery. At times the fourth brightest object in the night sky, only Venus, The Moon and the Sun surpassing it. Long associated with ""The God of War", and those pesky invading Tripods. I attempt to cover the history of our observations and ideas on the red planet
