#4 The size of the rocks -- ranging from a sand grain to a golf ball -- indicates that they could not have been carried by wind, said mission scientist Rebecca Williams of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Ariz.

Wind blown sand, how novel. Thank you Rebecca.

#7 Jimmy Carter of Mars.

Heh. Have you seen what Mars looks like lately? The whole planet is positively Carteresque.

But never mind the geology. Where's the scantily clad Martian princesses?

#8 from: John Carter of Mars (1964)
Call number: PS 3503 U687 J65 1964

When Carter was not occupied saving Mars, he was busy pursuing Dejah Thoris, the beautiful and scantily clad Martian Princess of Helium. The attraction was mutual and they eventually married, although Carter first had to rescue her repeatedly from various enemies who threatened to dishonor her.

Carter also encountered Tars Tarkas, a Green Martian warrior who became the earth mans ally and friend. Carter helped Tars become a Jeddak (king) of the Tharks, a warlike tribe that inhabited ancient cities left behind by an extinct advanced civilization.
