Of the remaining planets, only Mars and Saturn have been observed as radio sources, and not very much information is available.

In the novel Man Plus by Frederick Pohl, an able-bodied astronaut, Roger Torraway, is surgically altered in order to augment his fragile human body and allow him to function in the harsh climate of Mars.

The result is both " monstrous " ( he has bat-like wings, infrared sight, an enhanced brain capable of processing all the new sensory inputs ) and " freeing " ( his cyborg body is more " naturally " made for Mars, as opposed to his all-human colleagues on the Mars mission ).

Torraway's cyborg character is reprised in a 1995 sequel, Mars Plus.

He cannot, e.g. compute the retrograde arc traveled by Mars, without also making suppositions about the earth's own motion.

Greek writers under Roman rule also recorded cult practices and beliefs pertaining to Mars under the name of Ares.

There may also be a connection with the Roman god of war Mars, via hypothetical Proto-Indo-European * M ̥ rēs ; compare Ancient Greek μάρναμαι ( marnamai ), " to fight, to battle ", or Punjabi maarna ( to kill, to hit ).

Specialised terms such as selenology ( studies of the Moon ), areology ( of Mars ), etc., are also in use.

In the Solar System, Mars, Venus, and the moon Titan also exhibit greenhouse effects ; that on Venus is particularly large, due to its atmosphere, which consists mainly of dense carbon dioxide Titan has an anti-greenhouse effect, in that its atmosphere absorbs solar radiation but is relatively transparent to infrared radiation.

There are also signs of carbon dioxide eruptions from the southern polar ice cap of Mars.

The formation called Home Plate at Gusev Crater on Mars which was examined by the Mars Exploration Rover ( MER ) Spirit is suspected to be the eroded remains of an ancient and extinct fumarole.

This claim has been cited by some as providing credence to the idea of interplanetary panspermia, but more importantly, it led NASA to adopt strict abiotic procedures for space probes to prevent contamination of the planet Mars and other astronomical bodies that are suspected of having conditions possibly suitable for life.

Clickworkers also searched Mars images for " honeycomb " terrain, although no further images were discovered and it is suspected that this is an illusory feature type.

Meridiani Planum, the part of Mars where this meteorite was found, is suspected to have once been covered by a layer of material with a thickness of as much as 1 km which has been subsequently eroded.
