Life on Mars

                          Life on Mars? 
What if I ask you to buy a house on Mars or what if I tell you that Mars is most likely  as our Planet Earth. You all may think  that I have gone mad. But what if I tell you that our scientists are thinking  of living  on mars after 2030. Yes you are reading  it right. Not only scientist but we all are also curious  to know about the Mars. More than 6 thousands year ago who believed the planet was naugle the god of war and plague but it wasn't until 1610 when Galileo pointed his telescope at it that we got our first look at mars upon viewing the planet Galileo saw a reddish orange body hidden by polar ice caps from top to bottom  then around 100 year after they were discovered in the 18th century William Herschel used a 20 foot  long telescope just to see the polar ice caps expanding and shrinking with the changing of the martian seasons.  Scientists  at that time thought this indicated the meeting and freezing of liquid water on the surface of mars as the planet transitioned through summer to winter. This led many early Astronomers to predict life to be present  on the planet Mars and soon dark spots on the surface were mistakenly identified as oceans and vegetation was assumed to be present  as well.  

       In 1877 Giovanni schiaparelli endeavored to produce the first  detailed  map of the planet, in doing so he observed and recorded straight lines traversing  across the surface  of the planet. In map he titled  these lines as canali despite the direct  translation of this term to mean channel or groove theories of canals dugs across Mars abounded as a result these were believed to be evidence  of a spectacular but endangered martian  civilization classic story like Hg wells war of the worlds and Edgar Rice Burroughs, john carter series were  based on these notions of dying martian civilization or with better equipment. As by knowing  all these thing  it can be true to said that  life on Mars is a very big question  mark from the ancient times. And now our scientists  are doing  very well with their job and they are assuming  that they can search  life on Mars till 2030.
