Four and a half billion years ago, a small world formed out of the dust around a young Sun. It may once have had lakes, rivers and perhaps a northern sea. Then it lost its magnetic shield, most of its air and nearly all of its surface water. This is the full biography of Mars: how it was born, how it lived, how it changed, how humans spent thousands of years learning to read it, and what the robots exploring it today are finding.
