Mars and Its Canals, by Percival Lowell, Part 1

19th Century - Percival Lowell - Pluto and the Canals of Mars

A finales del siglo XIX, Marte era un planeta enigmático, lo suficiente cerca como para crear expectativas pero demasiado lejos como para ser observado con claridad. Los telescopios más potentes de la época sólo mostraban un disco anaranjado con manchas oscuras. Esas manchas provocaron un verdadero delirio de interpretaciones y especulaciones sobre la posibilidad de vida e, incluso, de vida inteligente en el Planeta Rojo. Destaca por méritos propios en este campo Percival Lowell.
