my eyes follow them, for it seemed to me after they had passed me thatthe two women walked together and the man alone in front carrying on hisshoulder a little black box--a coffin. I shuddered as I thought, buta moment later I saw all three abreast just as they had been. The oldwoman was now looking at me with eyes that blazed. She came across theroad and said to me without preface:"What saw ye then, that yer e'en looked so awed?" I did not like totell her so I did not answer. Her great eyes were fixed keenly upon me,seeming to look me through and through. I felt that I grew quite red,whereupon she said, apparently to herself: "I thocht so! Even I did notsee that which he saw.""How do you mean?" I queried. She answered ambiguously: "Wait! Ye shallperhaps know before this hour to-morrow!"

In 1997, NASA's Pathfinder began a new era in Mars exploration when it touched down and, along with its tiny rover, Sojourner, explored the Martian surface for the first time in 20 years. In December 1999, a new NASA spacecraft will land on Mars, to be followed by several more missions over the coming decade. In The Mystery of Mars, former astronaut Sally Ride and science teacher Tam O'Shaughnessy draw on the latest Pathfinder data, as well as decades of study of Mars, to present a comprehensive overview of Earth's nearest neighbor. With its thin atmosphere, rocky canyons, extinct volcanoes, and icy polar regions, Mars has many things in common with Earth--and may have even had life. Comparing the two planets' evolution, geology, and geography, the authors explain what we know about Mars today and what we hope to learn about it in the future. With lavish color photographs, this engaging and accessible introduction to the Red Planet is the ideal guide to this new age of Mars research.
