telescopes, scientists were able to see the surface of Mars for the first time. Today, we send robotic missions to Mars to study its surface. These missions have shown us that Mars’ solid surface is much like that of Earth. Mars missions will launch

How far is Mars from Earth? Because the Solar System is so large and the distances between planets are so great, scientists developed a special way to measure distances in the Solar System.
Curiosity is a car-sized, six-wheeled robot destined for Gale Crater on Mars. Its mission: to see if Mars ever could have supported small life forms called microbes...and if humans could survive there someday!
