宇宙深处。银河之中。一个神秘的红色天体，叫“火星”。
在人类长期对宏观天宇的探索中，这颗神秘星球很快便占据了人类对宇宙无限遐想的中心位置。
大约4000年前，古埃及人称她为“红色之星”；而古巴比伦人则称这颗“红色之星”为“死亡之星”；古希腊人和古罗马人好像对火星也没有好感，认为自己在地球上的一举一动总是被火星上的“人”监视着，所以为她取了一个不太友善的名字：Mars，即古罗马战神的名字，甚至把她视为“星际大战”的**星球。火星的英文名是Mars，这是罗马神话中战神的名字，在希腊神话中他的名字叫阿瑞斯。他的形象在这两种神话中完全不同。希腊神话里，他极其易怒，是个只懂得用*力解决问题，头脑简单，四肢发达的家伙。人缘和“神缘”都不怎么样，除了他的情人阿弗洛狄忒(罗马神话中的维纳斯)之外，几乎谁都不喜欢他。而在罗马神话里，他不但骁勇善战，甚至成了罗马人的祖先。大家都知道那座矗立在罗马城内的那座狼喂孩子的雕像吧，那两个孩子的亲生父亲就是这位伟大的战神马尔斯，由此可知战神的形象在古代罗马人的心目中有多高大。
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system and is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. Mars is also known as the "Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance when seen from Earth. The prefix areo-, from the Greek god of war, Ares, refers to Mars in the same way geo- refers to Earth.
Until the first flyby of Mars by Mariner 4 in 1965, it was thought that Mars had channels of liquid water. Observations later showed that these channels do not exist. Still, of all the planets in our solar system other than Earth, Mars is the most likely to harbor liquid water, and perhaps life. Its rotational period and seasonal cycles are also similar to those of the Earth. It has the highest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons, the largest canyon in the solar system, Valles Marineris, and polar ice caps.
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are **all and oddly-shaped. These may be captured asteroids similar to 5261 Eureka, a Mars trojan asteroid. Mars can be seen from Earth by the naked eye. Its apparent magnitude reaches -2.9, a brightness surpassed only by Venus, the Moon, and the Sun. For much of the year, Jupiter may appear brighter to the naked eye than Mars.
Mars is currently host to four or**ting spacecraft, more than any planet other than Earth. It is also home to the two Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity.
