Mars Reading List

Recent magazine articles about Mars have focused on four main topics: Hubble Space Telescope's 1994-95 observations of Mars, meteorites thought to be from Mars, Mars Surveyor, and Mars Pathfinder, and future Mars colonization. An article about Mars K-12 education was published in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's Mercury, and another one is due this Fall in the National Space Society's magazine, Ad Astra.
