The community !mars@discuss.tchncs.de is hosting every kind of news, art and discussions about the planet mars. Everybody is welcome to participate, even if you don’t know much about Mars. Feel free to ask questions, learn and have fun. Artworks are accepted if they’re at least somewhat related to Mars. I post there regularly, to provide information and infographics, such as this one and this one, but i haven’t had time yet to put these infographics into actual posts to explain what is shown on them. Forgive me for not having done so already.
I’m not going to, but my immediate instinct is to make a new post titled “Mars” and the body would say “It’s red”
you can of course do so, and maybe also explain why it’s red (it’s because of iron oxide). and then you can discuss the composition of the martian landscape, i.e. what types of minerals you can find there. it’s called areology and a very interesting field of study!
And then someone can reply that it’s not really as red as we’ve been made to believe. And that sometimes, in just the right light, standing on Mars, the sky would look blue, too.
