Beauty Of Mars
Mars is the red and fourth planet in our Solar System and was named after the Roman God of War. Mankind has always taken a great interest in Mars due to its close distance and science fiction depicts us living on Mars in the future some day. There is also a popular idea in the 19th century that Mars was populated by intelligent Martians but explorations had shown that the planet looked inhabitable.
NASA’s Phoenix Spacecraft is the latest mission to explore the planet Mars which had just landed in a Martian Arctic site just days ago. It will begin a three month site examination to see whether frozen water would exist in the cold part of the planet Mars.
Meanwhile, check out photos of the Mars with 13 more pics after the jump.

HI,FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR PICTURES ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL.AND ALSO IF I MAY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SOME CORECTION ON YOUR HISTORY ON THE FIRST PICTURE WITH THE TITLE ” BEAUTY OF MARS” !
Ares was the Olympian God of War and the figure behind all kind of violence
The Roman name of Ares is “Mars”
Ares, the Greek god of War, was the son of Zeus and Hera. The half-sister of Ares was Athena, the goddess of Wisdom and Skill. Athena also was a goddess of War but approached war solely for the purposes of justice.
Ares had his residence up on Mount Olympus and his throne was upholstered with human skin. Usually he was accompanied by Eris, the goddess of discord. Ares’ secret mistress was Aphrodite, the goddess of Love and Beauty; their union resulted to the birth of Armonia (Harmony), which was seen as a blend of two opposing powers.
Just like his mother Hera, Ares had a very difficult character to deal with and was therefore rather unpopular among the other deities and mankind. For this reason, no Greek city wanted to have him as its patron. He often had conflicts and fights with Artemis, the goddess of the Hunt and also with his sister Athena, especially during the Trojan War.
Ares was the first Greek god to be tried in the hill of Areios Pagus. Ares was accused by the Greek god Poseidon for having murdered his son Alirrothios, because Allirrothios attempted to rape Ares’ daughter, Alkippe.
THANK YOU !
