Mars
Getting back on track to the solar system topic, Mars.
Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system, between the asteroid belt and Earth. It is a hub for rovers exploring it's surface, and hopes of finding water on it. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system, Mount Olympus. Mars has two moons, Phobos and deimos, in which one will fly into deep space and one will crash into mars.
The curiosity rover, a state of the art rover is currently on Mars studying rocks and mountains.
Mars is nicknamed the red planet due to it's red like rocks and dust.
Mars is also thought to have once had water, due to smoothed down stones on its surface.
Well that's it peeps, see you tomorrow!
