The Martian System

As we near the fourth planet, we find a bright orange-red world pockmarked with deep scars and enormous mountain peaks. It is capped on both ends by bright sheets of white ice, and is accompanied by two tiny oddly shaped bodies. This is the planet Mars, and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
