Red Planet Day– November 28th.
The planet Mars is referred to as the “Red Planet” because the Planet appears red in color. Red Planet Day honors our celestial neighbor, the fourth planet in the Solar System.
Is Mars truly red in color? Scientists debated this question, even after Mars Rovers landed and began to explore the planet. Why? Because the lenses used to take photos were tinted.
On Red Planet Day, take a few minutes to look into the sky, and gaze at our neighbor. Hopefully, you will have a cloudless night sky for viewing. You can recognize this day by reading up about Mars, and viewing pictures of the Red Planet. There are plenty of pictures online.
