- Its navigation separates the god, the planet, and the ground—three lenses on Mars beyond the named historical chapters.
Field notes
The chapter labels distinguish periods and forms of evidence: early gods and omens, later books and cameras, observers’ words, and visual depictions. A separate set of links names the god, the world, and the ground, suggesting the site treats Mars both as a celestial object and as an idea people have projected onto it. The page also includes a Sources section and a Carl Sagan quotation.
